Proverbs 29:4-6

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

⁴ The king by justice establishes the land, but he who exacts gifts and tribute overthrows it.

⁵ A man who flatters his neighbor spreads a net for his own feet.

⁶ In the transgression of an evil man there is a snare, but the [uncompromisingly] righteous man sings and rejoices.
