2When the righteous are powerful, the people rejoice; But when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.
3He who loveth wisdom rejoiceth his father; But he who is a companion of harlots destroyeth his substance.
4A king by equity establisheth a land; But he who receiveth gifts overthroweth it.
5A man who flattereth his neighbor Spreadeth a net for his feet.
6In the transgression of a wicked man there is a snare; But the righteous shall sing and rejoice.
7A righteous man careth for the cause of the poor; A wicked man discerneth not knowledge.
