Proverbs 29:6

In context

4A king gives a land firm ground by justice, but a man of exactions tears it down. 5A man who flatters his neighbor is spreading a net for his own steps. 6In the offense of an evil man there is a snare, but the righteous sings and rejoices. 7The righteous knows the cause of the poor; the wicked has no understanding to know it. 8Men of scoffing set a city ablaze, but the wise turn wrath away.
