他說：『那要管理你們、的王、其制度是這樣：他必取你們的兒子，派他們為他趕車，做他的馬兵，在他的車前奔走。他必派他們做他的千夫長、五十夫長，犂他所當犂的田，收割他所可收割的，製造他的戰器和車上的器械。他也必取你們的女兒做豫備香物者、做廚子和烤餅的人。他必取你們最好的田地、最好的葡萄園、橄欖園，賜給他的臣僕。你們撒種結的籽粒、和你們的葡萄園所出的、他都要抽取十分之一、去賜給他的內侍和臣僕。他也必取你們的奴僕婢女、你們最好的牛和驢、去作他的工。你們的羊羣、他也要抽取十分之一；你們本身呢、也必做他的奴僕。到那日子你們就會因所選的王而哀叫，到那日子永恆主卻不應允你們。』

『你進了永恆主你的上帝所賜給你去取得而居住的地那時候，若說：「我要立王管理我、像我四圍的列國一樣」；那麼你總要立永恆主你的上帝所要揀選的人做王來管理你；你要從你族弟兄中立一位做王來管理你；不可讓一個外籍人、不是你族弟兄的、管理你。不過王卻不可為自己加多馬匹，也不可使人民回埃及去、以便加多馬匹，因為永恆主曾對你們說過：「你們永遠不可再回那條路去。」王也不可為自己加多妃嬪，恐怕他的心偏邪；他也不可為自己加多金銀到極多。『將來他登了國位，就要從祭司利未人面前的原本、為自己用一卷錄寫這律法的抄本。那書要時常在他身邊，儘他一生的日子他總要誦讀，好學習敬畏他的上帝，謹守這律法書上的一切話，也守這些律例去遵行；免得他心高氣傲、藐視他的族弟兄，也免得他離了這誡命、而偏左偏右；好使他和他子孫在以色列中治國延年益壽。

你應當提醒眾人要順服執政的、掌權的，要服從權柄，對各樣善事、要隨時準備着行。

『主永恆主這麼說：人君若將他一部分的產業作為恩物賜給他兒子的任一人，那就要屬於他兒子：那是他們繼承得來的基業。倘若人君將他一部分產業作為恩物賜給他的一個臣僕，那就要歸於那臣僕直到自由之年，仍要回歸於人君；不過給兒子們的產業終須歸於兒子們。人君不可奪取人民的產業，以至欺迫他們離開他們的基業；他要從自己的地業中將產業賜給他的兒子，免得我人民四散、各人離開他的基業。』

居上位有政權的、人人都當順服。因為沒有政權不是出於上帝的：一切政權都由上帝所定。故此敵擋政權、就是反對上帝所規定；反對的必自招處刑。作官的原不是叫有善行的懼怕，乃是叫有惡行的懼怕。你願意不懼怕政權麼？須要行善，就可以從它得讚許；因為它是為你的好處而做上帝僕役的。但你若行惡，就該懼怕；因為它並不是徒然佩帶刀劍權力；它是上帝的僕役，是刑罰者，使上帝之義怒臨到作惡之人的。所以必須順服，不但因上帝義怒之緣故，也因良知的緣故。你們納貢銀、也是為了這個緣故，因為他們是上帝的差役，時常專務的正是這事。你們向一切人、總要把債還清；該向誰納貢銀，就向誰納貢銀；該向誰上稅，就向誰上稅；該敬畏誰；就敬畏誰；該尊敬誰，就尊敬誰。

你們為主的緣故要順服人類的一切制度，或是君王為至尊的，或是統治官由君王所差派、以刑罰作惡的、讚許行善的。

『主永恆主這麼說：以色列的人君哪，你們可夠了！把強暴和搶奪的事除掉哦！施行公平公義吧！將霸佔我人民產業的事拉掉起來哦。這是主永恆主發神諭說的。『你們要用公道的天平、公道的升斗、公道的量器。
