4The king by judgment stablisheth the land: But he that receiveth gifts overthroweth it.
5A man that flattereth his neighbour Spreadeth a net for his feet.
6In the transgression of an evil man there is a snare: But the righteous doth sing and rejoice.
7The righteous considereth the cause of the poor: But the wicked regardeth not to know it.
8Scornful men bring a city into a snare: But wise men turn away wrath.
9If a wise man contendeth with a foolish man, Whether he rage or laugh, there is no rest.
10The bloodthirsty hate the upright: But the just seek his soul.
