Proverbs 29:4-9 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

4. The king by justice establishes the land: but he that receives bribes overthrows it.

5. A man that flatters his neighbor spreads a net for his feet.

6. In the transgression of an evil man there is a snare: but the righteous does sing and rejoice.

7. The righteous considers the cause of the poor: but the wicked regards not such knowledge.

8. Scornful men bring a city into a snare: but wise men turn away wrath.

9. If a wise man contends with a foolish man, whether the foolish man rages or laughs, there is no rest.
