Proverbs 29:2-6 God's Word Translation (GW)

2. When righteous people increase, the people ⌊of God⌋ rejoice,but when a wicked person rules, everybody groans.

3. A person who loves wisdom makes his father happy,but one who pays prostitutes wastes his wealth.

4. By means of justice, a king builds up a country,but a person who confiscates religious contributions tears it down.

5. A person who flatters his neighboris spreading a net for him to step into.

6. To an evil person sin is bait in a trap,but a righteous person runs away from it and is glad.
