Proverbs 29:9-22
-
9 If a wise man contendeth with a foolish man, whether he rage or laugh, there is no rest.
-
10 The bloodthirsty hate the upright: but the just seek his soul.
-
11 A fool uttereth all his mind: but a wise man keepeth it in till afterwards.
-
12 If a ruler hearken to lies, all his servants are wicked.
-
13 The poor and the deceitful man meet together: the LORD lighteneth both their eyes.
-
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.
