28 A large population is a king’s glory,

but without subjects a prince is ruined.

28 In the multitude of people is the king’s honour:

But in the want of people is the destruction of the prince.

28 A growing population is a king’s glory;

a prince without subjects has nothing.

28 In a multitude of people is a king’s honor,

But in the lack of people is the downfall of a prince.

28 A king is honored when he has many people to rule,

but a prince is ruined if he has none.

28 In the multitude of people is the king’s glory;

But in the want of people is the destruction of the prince.

28 In the multitude of people is the king’s glory; but in the lack of people is the ruin of a prince.

28 A large population is an honor for a king, 

but without people a ruler is ruined. 

28 A large population is a king’s splendor,

but a shortage of people is a ruler’s devastation.

28 The glory of a king is a multitude of people;

without people a prince is ruined.

28 In the multitude of people is the glory of the king,

but without a population, a prince is ruined.

28 A large population is a king’s glory.

But a prince without followers is destroyed.

28 In a multitude of people is a king’s glory,

But in the dearth of people is a prince’s ruin.
