Proverbs 29:9-19

1. 9 If a wise man contendeth with a foolish man, whether he rage or laugh, there is no rest.

2. 10 The bloodthirsty hate the upright: but the just seek his soul.

3. 11 A fool uttereth all his mind: but a wise man keepeth it in till afterwards.

4. 12 If a ruler hearken to lies, all his servants are wicked.

5. 13 The poor and the deceitful man meet together: the LORD lighteneth both their eyes.

6. 14 The king that faithfully judgeth the poor, his throne shall be established for ever.

7. 15 The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame.

8. 16 When the wicked are multiplied, transgression increaseth: but the righteous shall see their fall.

9. 17 Correct thy son, and he shall give thee rest; yea, he shall give delight unto thy soul.

10. 18 Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.

11. 19 A servant will not be corrected by words: for though he understand he will not answer.
