בְּפֶ֣שַׁע אֶ֭רֶץ רַבִּ֣ים שָׂרֶ֑יהָ וּבְאָדָ֥ם מֵבִ֥ין יֹדֵ֗עַ כֵּ֣ן יַאֲרִֽיךְ׃
bpeshaʿ ʾereṣ rabiym shareyha vbʾadam mebiyn yodeʿa ken yaʾariyk
King James Version (KJV)

For the transgression of a land many are the princes thereof: but by a man of understanding and knowledge the state thereof shall be prolonged.

Modern English

When a land transgresses, it has many rulers, but with a man of understanding and knowledge, its stability will long continue.
