Pro 29:6 In the transgression of an evil man [there is] a snare: but the righteous doth sing and rejoice. Ver. 6. In the transgression of an evil man there is a snare. ] Or, A cord - viz., to strangle his joy with - to check and choke all his comforts. In the midst of his mirth he hath many a secret gripe, and little knows the world where his shoe pincheth him.

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Proverbs 29:7

Pro 29:7 The righteous considereth the cause of the poor: [but] the wicked regardeth not to know [it]. Ver. 7.
