Proverbs 29:2-4

Legacy Standard Bible

² When the ^(A)righteous ^[a]increase, the people are glad,
But when a wicked man rules, people groan.
³ A man who ^(B)loves wisdom makes his father glad,
But he who ^(C)befriends harlots destroys his wealth.
⁴ By justice the ^(D)king causes the land to stand,
But a man of bribes tears it down.
