Proverbs 29:6-8

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

⁶ In the transgression of an evil man there is a snare, but the [uncompromisingly] righteous man sings and rejoices.

⁷ The [consistently] righteous man knows and cares for the rights of the poor, but the wicked man has no interest in such knowledge.^(A)

⁸ Scoffers set a city afire [inflaming the minds of the people], but wise men turn away wrath.
