Proverbs 29:4-6

New International Version

⁴ By justice a king gives a country stability,^(A)
    but those who are greedy for^[a] bribes tear it down.

⁵ Those who flatter their neighbors
    are spreading nets for their feet.^(B)

⁶ Evildoers are snared by their own sin,^(C)
    but the righteous shout for joy and are glad.
