²⁹ The wicked person appears brash,
    but the virtuous think about the path ahead.

⁵ Thorns and nets are in the path of the crooked;
    those who guard their lives keep their distance.

¹⁵ Wicked one, don’t wait secretly at the home of the righteous.
    Don’t destroy their dwelling.
¹⁶ The righteous may fall seven times but still get up,
    but the wicked will stumble into trouble.

28 The wicked run away even though no one pursues them,
    but the righteous are as confident as a lion.

¹² When the righteous rejoice, there is great respect,
    but people hide when the wicked prosper.
