A man that flattereth his neighbour spreadeth a net for his feet.
In the transgression of an evil man [there is] a snare: but the righteous doth sing and rejoice.
The righteous considereth the cause of the poor: [but] the wicked regardeth not to know [it].
Scornful men bring a city into a snare: but wise [men] turn away wrath.
[If] a wise man contendeth with a foolish man, whether he rage or laugh, [there is] no rest.
