Proverbs 29:2-7

²When the righteous increase, the people rejoice; but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.

³Whoso loveth wisdom rejoiceth his father; but he that is a companion of harlots destroyeth his substance.

⁴A king by just judgment establisheth the land; but he that taketh gifts overthroweth it.

⁵A man that flattereth his neighbour spreadeth a net for his steps.

⁶In the transgression of an evil man there is a snare; but the righteous shall sing and rejoice.

⁷The righteous taketh knowledge of the cause of the poor; the wicked understandeth not knowledge.
