Legacy Standard Bible
2 When the (A)righteous [a]increase, the people are glad,
But when a wicked man rules, people groan.
3 A man who (B)loves wisdom makes his father glad,
But he who (C)befriends harlots destroys his wealth.
4 By justice the (D)king causes the land to stand,
But a man of bribes tears it down.
5 A man who (E)flatters his neighbor
Is spreading a net for his steps.
6 By transgression an evil man is (F)ensnared,
But the righteous (G)sings with joy and is glad.
7 The (H)righteous knows the cause of the poor,
The wicked does not understand that knowledge.
8 Scoffers [b](I)set a city aflame,
But (J)wise men turn away anger.
9 When a wise man is brought into judgment with a man who is an ignorant fool,
[c]The ignorant fool both rages and laughs, and there is no rest.
10 Men of (K)bloodshed hate the blameless,
But the upright seek the well-being of his soul.
11 A (L)fool [d]lets out all of his spirit,
But a (M)wise man holds it back.
12 If a (N)ruler pays attention to a lying word,
All his ministers become wicked.
