Proverbs 29:7

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.

An evil man is snared by his sin,

but the righteous can sing and be glad.

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.

The bloodthirsty hate a man of integrity;

and they seek the life of the upright.
