5A man who flatters his neighbor spreads a net for his feet.
6An evil man is snared by his sin, but the upright can sing and be glad.
7The upright care about justice for the poor. The wicked are not concerned about knowledge.
8Mockers stir up a city, but wise men turn away anger.
9If a wise man goes to court with a foolish man, the fool rages or scoffs, and there is no peace.
10The bloodthirsty hate a man of integrity; and they seek the life of the upright.
11A fool vents all of his anger, but a wise man brings himself under control.
12If a ruler listens to lies, all of his officials are wicked.
13The poor man and the oppressor have this in common: Adonai gives sight to the eyes of both.
14The king who fairly judges the poor, his throne shall be established forever.
