In the multitude of people is the king’s glory; But in the want of people is the destruction of the prince.

A king's glory is in the number of his people: and for need of people a ruler may come to destruction.

Εν τω πληθει του λαου ειναι η δοξα του βασιλεως· εν δε τη ελλειψει του λαου ο αφανισμος του ηγεμονευοντος.

In the multitude of people is the king’s honour: but in the want of people is the destruction of the prince.
