Proverbs 29:3-5

New International Reader's Version

³ A man who loves wisdom makes his father glad.
    But a man who spends time with prostitutes wastes his father’s wealth.

⁴ By doing what is fair, a king makes a country secure.
    But those who only want money tear it down.

⁵ Those who only pretend to praise their neighbors
    are spreading a net to catch them by the feet.
