Proverbs 29:14-26
-
14 The king that faithfully judgeth the poor, his throne shall be established for ever.
-
15 The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame.
-
16 When the wicked are multiplied, transgression increaseth: but the righteous shall see their fall.
-
17 Correct thy son, and he shall give thee rest; yea, he shall give delight unto thy soul.
-
18 Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.
-
19 A servant will not be corrected by words: for though he understand he will not answer.
-
20 Seest thou a man that is hasty in his words? there is more hope of a fool than of him.
-
21 He that delicately bringeth up his servant from a child shall have him become his son at the length.
-
22 An angry man stirreth up strife, and a furious man aboundeth in transgression.
-
23 A man's pride shall bring him low: but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit.
-
24 Whoso is partner with a thief hateth his own soul: he heareth cursing, and bewrayeth it not.
-
25 The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe.
-
26 Many seek the ruler's favour; but every man's judgment cometh from the LORD.
