3Whoever loves wisdom brings joy to his father; but a companion of prostitutes squanders his wealth. 4The king by justice makes the land stable, but he who takes bribes tears it down.
5A man who flatters his neighbor spreads a net for his feet.
After · Proverbs 29:6–7
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.
