Proverbs 29:6

Whoever loves wisdom brings joy to his father;

but a companion of prostitutes squanders his wealth.

The king by justice makes the land stable,

but he who takes bribes tears it down.

A man who flatters his neighbor

spreads a net for his feet.

The righteous care about justice for the poor.

The wicked aren’t concerned about knowledge.

Mockers stir up a city,

but wise men turn away anger.

If a wise man goes to court with a foolish man,

the fool rages or scoffs, and there is no peace.
