4. A sovereign establishes a land by right-ruling, But one who receives bribes throws it down.
5. A man who flatters his neighbour Spreads a net for his own feet.
6. An evil man is ensnared by transgression, But the righteous sings and rejoices.
7. The righteous knows the plea of the poor, The wrong does not understand such knowledge.
8. Scoffers ensnare a city, But the wise turn away wrath.
