2When the righteous are praised, the people will rejoice: but when the ungodly rule, men mourn.
3When a man loves wisdom, his father rejoices: but he that keeps harlots will waste wealth.
4A righteous king establishes a country: but a transgressor destroys it.
5He that prepares a net in the way of his own friend, entangles his own feet in it.
6A great snare is spread for a sinner: but the righteous shall be in joy and gladness.
7A righteous man knows how to judge for the poor: but the ungodly understands not knowledge; and the poor man has not an understanding mind.
