Proverbs 29:3-6 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

3. A man who loves wisdom makes his father glad. But a man who spends time with prostitutes wastes his father's wealth.

4. By doing what is fair, a king makes a country secure. But the one who wants to be paid off tears it down.

5. A man who only pretends to praise his neighbor is spreading a net to catch him by the feet.

6. A sinful man is trapped by his own sin. But a godly person can sing and be glad.
