Proverbs 29:5-10 New Living Translation (NLT)

5. To flatter friendsis to lay a trap for their feet.

6. Evil people are trapped by sin,but the righteous escape, shouting for joy.

7. The godly care about the rights of the poor;the wicked don’t care at all.

8. Mockers can get a whole town agitated,but the wise will calm anger.

9. If a wise person takes a fool to court,there will be ranting and ridicule but no satisfaction.

10. The bloodthirsty hate blameless people,but the upright seek to help them.
