Proverbs 29:4-6

New Life Version

⁴ The king makes the land strong by doing what is right and fair, but the one who takes pay for doing wrong, destroys it.

⁵ A man who gives his neighbor sweet-sounding words that are not true spreads a net for his own feet.

⁶ A sinful man is trapped by his sins, but a man who is right with God sings for joy.
