Proverbs 29:6-8

New American Standard Bible 1995

⁶ By transgression an evil man is ^(A)ensnared,
But the righteous ^(B)sings and rejoices.
⁷ The ^(C)righteous ^[a]is concerned for the rights of the poor,
The wicked does not understand such ^[b]concern.
⁸ Scorners ^(D)set a city aflame,
But ^(E)wise men turn away anger.
