2 When the righteous thrive, the people rejoice; But when the wicked rule, the people groan.
3 Whoever loves wisdom brings joy to his father; But a companion of prostitutes squanders his wealth.
4 The king by justice makes the land stable, But he who takes bribes tears it down.
5 A man who flatters his neighbor, Spreads a net for his feet.
6 An evil man is snared by his sin, But the righteous can sing and be glad.
