Proverbs 29:2, 8, 10, 16, 25 When the righteous increase, the people rejoice, But when a wicked man rules, people groan. Scorners set a city aflame, But wise men turn away anger. Men of bloodshed hate the blameless, But the upright are concerned for his life. When the wicked increase, transgression increases; But the righteous will see their fall. The fear of man brings a snare, But he who trusts in the LORD will be exalted. | New American Standard Bible - NASB 1995 (NASB1995)
