Do not lie in wait like the wicked against the place where the righteous live; do not assault his home.

Although a righteous person may fall seven times, he gets up again, but the wicked will be brought down by calamity.

for the evil person has no future, and the lamp of the wicked will be extinguished.

The one who says to the guilty, “You are innocent,” peoples will curse him, and nations will denounce him.

remove the wicked from before the king, and his throne will be established in righteousness.

Like a muddied spring and a polluted well, so is a righteous person who gives way before the wicked.

The wicked person flees when there is no one pursuing, but the righteous person is as confident as a lion.

Those who forsake the law praise the wicked, but those who keep the law contend with them.

When the righteous rejoice, great is the glory, but when the wicked rise to power, people are sought out.

When the wicked gain control, people hide themselves, but when they perish, the righteous increase.

When the righteous become numerous, the people rejoice; when the wicked rule, the people groan.

The righteous person cares for the legal rights of the poor; the wicked does not understand such knowledge.

If a ruler listens to lies, all his ministers will be wicked.

When the wicked increase, transgression increases, but the righteous will see their downfall.

An unjust person is an abomination to the righteous, and the one who lives an upright life is an abomination to the wicked.

A wicked person shows boldness with his face, but as for the upright, he discerns his ways.

Like a roaring lion or a roving bear, so is a wicked ruler over a poor people.
