Proverbs 29:2, 8, 10, 16, 25 When the righteous increase, the people rejoice, but when the wicked rule, the people groan. Scoffers set a city aflame, but the wise turn away wrath. Bloodthirsty men hate one who is blameless and seek the life of the upright. When the wicked increase, transgression increases, but the righteous will look upon their downfall. The fear of man lays a snare, but whoever trusts in the LORD is safe. | English Standard Version 2016 (ESV)
