In the multitude of people is the king’s glory; But in the want of people is the destruction of the prince.
In the multitude of people is the king's honour: But in the want of people is the destruction of the prince.
In a multitude of people is the king's glory, but in a lack of people is the prince's ruin.
A king’s glory is a large population, but a dwindling people is a ruler’s ruin.
In a multitude of people, there is dignity for the king. And in a paucity of people, there is disgrace for the prince.
