14 I have counsel and sound wisdom; I have insight; I have strength.
15 By me kings reign, and rulers decree what is just;
16 by me princes rule, and nobles, all who govern justly.
Wisdom has specific characteristics. Here they are applied to those in authority. Though it does not necessarily say secular leaders must be believers, they should be measured by good advice, wisdom, insight and persistence. Though not in authority submit to the wisdom of the God of Israel, effective ones mimic it.
