Proverbs 29:1-8

1. 1 He, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy.

2. 2 When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.

3. 3 Whoso loveth wisdom rejoiceth his father: but he that keepeth company with harlots spendeth his substance.

4. 4 The king by judgment establisheth the land: but he that receiveth gifts overthroweth it.

5. 5 A man that flattereth his neighbour spreadeth a net for his feet.

6. 6 In the transgression of an evil man there is a snare: but the righteous doth sing and rejoice.

7. 7 The righteous considereth the cause of the poor: but the wicked regardeth not to know it.

8. 8 Scornful men bring a city into a snare: but wise men turn away wrath.
