Scripture: Proverbs 29:2
"When the righteous increase, the people rejoice, But when a wicked man rules, people groan."
Commentary:
The clashing voices over Iran’s leadership show what happens when rulers lose the trust of their people. It’s plain that unrest spreads beyond official statements. In practice, ordinary Iranians pay a heavy price as high-level leaders trade accusations.
