Proverbs 29:6-8

New Catholic Bible

⁶ An evildoer is ensnared by his own sin,
    but an upright man goes forward happily.
⁷ A righteous man has concern for the condition of the poor,
    but an evildoer shows no interest in this matter.
⁸ Scoffers can set a city aflame,^[a]
    but wise men turn away wrath.
