Exodus 22:28
28 a“You shall not revile God, nor bcurse a ruler of your people.Ecclesiastes 10:6-7
6 cfolly is set in many high places, and the rich sit in a low place. 7 dI have seen slaves eon horses, and princes walking on the ground like slaves.Ecclesiastes 10:20
20Even in your thoughts, fdo not curse the king,nor in your gbedroom curse the rich,
for a bird of the air will carry your voice,
or some winged creature tell the matter.
Acts 23:5
5And Paul said, h“I did not know, brothers, that he was the high priest, for it is written, i‘You shall not speak evil of a ruler of your people.’”Jude 8
8Yet in like manner these people also, relying on their dreams, defile the flesh, reject authority, and jblaspheme the glorious ones.Jude 10
10 kBut these people blaspheme all that they do not understand, and they are destroyed by all that they, like unreasoning animals, understand instinctively.
