Proverbs 29:4-10

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.

⁸Lawless men burn down a city: but wise men turn away wrath.

⁹A wise man shall judge nations: but a worthless man being angry laughs and fears not.

¹⁰Bloody men hate a holy person, but the upright will seek his soul.
