Proverbs 29:6-8

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁶ To an evil person sin is bait in a trap,
but a righteous person runs away from it and is glad.
⁷ A righteous person knows the just cause of the poor.
A wicked person does not understand this.
⁸ Mockers create an uproar in a city,
but wise people turn away anger.
