Proverbs 29:6-8

New International Reader's Version

⁶ Sinful people are trapped by their own sin.
    But godly people shout for joy and are glad.

⁷ Those who do what is right want to treat poor people fairly.
    But those who do what is wrong don’t care about the poor.

⁸ Those who make fun of others stir up a city.
    But wise people turn anger away.
