Proverbs 29:2-4
New American Standard Bible 1995

2 When the (A)righteous [a]increase, the people rejoice,
But when a wicked man rules, people groan.
3 A man who (B)loves wisdom makes his father glad,
But he who (C)keeps company with harlots wastes his wealth.
4 The (D)king gives stability to the land by justice,
But a man who takes bribes overthrows it.
