Proverbs 29:2, 8, 10, 16, 25 When the righteous are increased, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man beareth rule, the people sigh. Scoffers set a city in a flame; But wise men turn away wrath. The bloodthirsty hate him that is perfect; And as for the upright, they seek his life. When the wicked are increased, transgression increaseth; But the righteous shall look upon their fall. The fear of man bringeth a snare; But whoso putteth his trust in Jehovah shall be safe. | American Standard Version (ASV)
