- By transgression an evil man is ensnared, But the righteous sings and rejoices.
- The righteous is concerned for the rights of the poor, The wicked does not understand such concern.
- Scorners set a city aflame, But wise men turn away anger.
- When a wise man has a controversy with a foolish man, The foolish man either rages or laughs, and there is no rest.
- Men of bloodshed hate the blameless, But the upright are concerned for his life.
|
- An evil man is snared by his own sin, but a righteous one can sing and be glad.
- The righteous care about justice for the poor, but the wicked have no such concern.
- Mockers stir up a city, but wise men turn away anger.
- If a wise man goes to court with a fool, the fool rages and scoffs, and there is no peace.
- Bloodthirsty men hate a man of integrity and seek to kill the upright.
