Proverbs 29:4-6
Names of God Bible
4 By means of justice, a king builds up a country,
but a person who confiscates religious contributions tears it down.
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[a] and is glad.
