Proverbs 29:5

New Living Translation

⁵To flatter friends
is to lay a trap for their feet.

Proverbs 29:5

Common English Bible

⁵People who flatter their friends
spread out a net for their feet.

²⁴If you assist a thief, you only hurt yourself.
You are sworn to tell the truth, but you dare not testify.

²⁴Those who share plunder with thieves hate themselves;
even under oath, they don’t testify.
