TSK · Proverbs 29:2

Now Mordecai went out from the king’s presence in blue and white royal attire, with a large golden crown and a purple linen mantle. The city of Susa shouted with joy.

When the righteous do well, the city rejoices; when the wicked perish, there is joy.

When the wicked gain control, people hide themselves, but when they perish, the righteous increase.

I have seen another misfortune on the earth: It is an error a ruler makes.

“I, the LORD, promise that a new time will certainly come when I will raise up for them a righteous branch, a descendant of David. He will rule over them with wisdom and understanding and will do what is just and right in the land.

When Herod saw that he had been tricked by the wise men, he became enraged. He sent men to kill all the children in Bethlehem and throughout the surrounding region from the age of two and under, according to the time he had learned from the wise men.
