Scripture: Proverbs 29:2 (NASB 1977)
"When the righteous increase, the people rejoice,
But when a wicked man rules, people groan."
Commentary:
Proverbs names what ordinary people feel when leaders speak lightly about taking another nation’s resources. Groaning shows up fast—markets twitch, families with deployed service members watch the news, and allies calculate risk. Talk of seizing oil and strategic hubs signals how power can treat wealth as spoil.
