2. When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice;But when a wicked man rules, the people groan.
3. Whoever loves wisdom makes his father rejoice,But a companion of harlots wastes his wealth.
4. The king establishes the land by justice,But he who receives bribes overthrows it.
5. A man who flatters his neighborSpreads a net for his feet.
6. By transgression an evil man is snared,But the righteous sings and rejoices.
