Verse 5 is found in chapter 29 of Proverbs. Persistent resistance to correction can ultimately lead to sudden destruction. When the righteous prosper, the people rejoice; when the wicked rule, society groans. The proverb about bribery shows how a person can become trapped by his own corrupt practices. The contrast between righteous and wicked again demonstrates that individual character has communal effects.
