International Standard Version When a land transgresses, it gains a succession of leaders, but with an understanding and knowledgeable man, its stability endures.
American Standard Version For the transgression of a land many are the princes thereof; But by men of understanding and knowledge the state thereof'shall be prolonged.
Young's Literal Translation By the transgression of a land many are its heads. And by an intelligent man, Who knoweth right -- it is prolonged.
