Proverbs 29:5-12

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.

¹¹A fool utters all his mind: But the wise reserves his in part.

¹²When a king hearkens to unjust language, All his subjects are transgressors.
