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.
