Proverbs 29:4-6

The Voice

⁴ A king brings stability to a land with his justice,
    but one who makes unjust demands brings it to ruin.
⁵ The one who flatters his friend
    is laying a trap that will catch his friend’s feet.
⁶ An evil person is sure to be trapped by his sin,
    but a man who lives right is free to sing and be glad.
