Proverbs 29:6 BBE

⁴  A king, by right rule, makes the land safe; but one full of desires makes it a waste.

⁵  A man who says smooth things to his neighbour is stretching out a net for his steps.

⁶  In the steps of an evil man there is a net for him, but the upright man gets away quickly and is glad.

⁷  The upright man gives attention to the cause of the poor: the evil-doer gives no thought to it.

⁸  Men of pride are the cause of violent acts in a town, but by wise men wrath is turned away.
