4 By justice a king ¹builds up the land, but he who exacts gifts^a tears it down.

5 ²A man who flatters his neighbor spreads ³a net for his feet.

6 An evil man is ⁴ensnared in his transgression, but a righteous man ⁵sings and rejoices.

7 A righteous man ⁶knows the rights of the poor; a wicked man does not ⁷understand such knowledge.

8 ⁸Scoffers set a city aflame, but the wise turn away wrath.

9 If a wise man has an argument with a fool, the fool only rages and laughs, and there is ⁹no quiet.

10 Bloodthirsty men ¹⁰hate one who is blameless and seek the life of the upright.^b

11 A fool gives full vent to his spirit, but a wise man quietly holds it back.

12 If a ruler listens to falsehood, all his officials will be wicked.

13 The poor man and the oppressor ¹¹meet together; the LORD ¹² gives light to the eyes of both.

14 If a king ¹³faithfully judges the poor, his throne will ¹⁴be established forever.
