4 A just king guides the land. A man of avarice will destroy it.
5 A man who speaks to his friend with flattering and feigned words spreads a net for his own feet.
6 A snare will entangle the iniquitous when he sins. And the just shall praise and be glad.
7 The just knows the case of the poor. The impious is ignorant of knowledge.
8 Pestilent men squander a city. Yet truly, the wise avert fury.
