3 Whoever loves wisdom rejoices his father,but he who keeps company with harlots spends his substance.
4 The king establishes the land by judgment,but he who receives bribes overthrowsit.
5 A man who flatters his neighborspreads a net for his feet.
6 In the transgression of an evil man there is a snare,but the righteous sing and rejoice.
7 The righteous considers the cause of the poor,but the wicked regards not to know it.
8 Scornful men bring a city into a snare,but wise men turn away wrath.
9 If a wise man contends with a foolish man,whether he rage or laugh, there is no rest.
