Proverbs 29:6-8

The Message

⁶ Evil people fall into their own traps;
    good people run the other way, glad to escape.

⁷ The good-hearted understand what it’s like to be poor;
    the hardhearted haven’t the faintest idea.

⁸ A gang of cynics can upset a whole city;
    a group of sages can calm everyone down.
