Proverbs 29:5-7

The Message

⁵ A flattering neighbor is up to no good;
    he’s probably planning to take advantage of you.

⁶ Evil people fall into their own traps;
    good people run the other way, glad to escape.

⁷ The good-hearted understand what it’s like to be poor;
    the hardhearted haven’t the faintest idea.
