Proverbs 29:5-7

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁵ A person who flatters his neighbor
is spreading a net for him to step into.
⁶ To an evil person sin is bait in a trap,
but a righteous person runs away from it and is glad.
⁷ A righteous person knows the just cause of the poor.
A wicked person does not understand this.
