Proverbs 29:4-6
New Living Translation
4 A just king gives stability to his nation,
but one who demands bribes destroys it.
5 To flatter friends
is to lay a trap for their feet.
6 Evil people are trapped by sin,
but the righteous escape, shouting for joy.
Proverbs 29:4-6
New King James Version
4 The king establishes the land by justice,
But he who receives bribes overthrows it.
5 A man who (A)flatters his neighbor
Spreads a net for his feet.
6 By transgression an evil man is snared,
But the righteous sings and rejoices.
