Proverbs 29:3-8 King James Version (KJV)

3. Whoso loveth wisdom rejoiceth his father: but he that keepeth company with harlots spendeth his substance.

4. The king by judgment establisheth the land: but he that receiveth gifts overthroweth it.

5. A man that flattereth his neighbour spreadeth a net for his feet.

6. In the transgression of an evil man there is a snare: but the righteous doth sing and rejoice.

7. The righteous considereth the cause of the poor: but the wicked regardeth not to know it.

8. Scornful men bring a city into a snare: but wise men turn away wrath.
