Paradox #1

This verse points out a situation where leaders take the best resources for themselves and leave what is less desirable for others. The moral conflict here could be seen as the leaders acting selfishly and unjustly, prioritizing their own needs over those they are supposed to care for, which contradicts principles of fairness and selflessness. However, without wider context, this is the main potential moral issue.
