3 Whoever loves wisdom brings joy to his father; But a companion of prostitutes squanders his wealth.
4 The king by justice makes the land stable, But he who takes bribes tears it down.
5 A man who flatters his neighbor, Spreads a net for his feet.
6 An evil man is snared by his sin, But the righteous can sing and be glad.
7 The righteous care about justice for the poor. The wicked aren`t concerned about knowledge.
8 Mockers stir up a city, But wise men turn away anger.
9 If a wise man goes to court with a foolish man, The fool rages or scoffs, and there is no peace.
