4The king by justice makes the land stable, but he who takes bribes tears it down.
5A man who flatters his neighbour spreads a net for his feet.
6An evil man is snared by his sin, but the righteous can sing and be glad.
7The righteous care about justice for the poor. The wicked aren’t concerned about knowledge.
Proverbs 29
