Proverbs 29:1-16
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 29
1
A person often rebuked who becomes obstinate
Will suddenly be broken beyond remedy.
2
When the righteous increase, the people rejoice,
But when a wicked person rules, people groan.
3
A man who loves wisdom makes his father glad,
But he who involves himself with prostitutes wastes
his
wealth.
4
The king gives stability to the land by justice,
But a person who takes bribes ruins it.
5
A man who flatters his neighbor
Is spreading a net for his steps.
6
By wrongdoing an evil person is ensnared,
But the righteous sings and rejoices.
7
The righteous is concerned for the rights of the poor;
The wicked does not understand
such
concern.
8
Arrogant people inflame a city,
But wise people turn away anger.
9
When a wise person has a controversy with a foolish person,
The foolish person either rages or laughs, and there is no rest.
10
People of bloodshed hate the blameless person,
But the upright are concerned for his life.
11
A fool always loses his temper,
But a wise person holds it back.
12
If a ruler pays attention to falsehood,
All his ministers
become
wicked.
13
The poor person and the oppressor have this in common:
The
Lord
gives light to the eyes of both.
14
If a king judges the poor with truth,
His throne will be established forever.
15
The rod and a rebuke give wisdom,
But a child who gets his own way brings shame to his mother.
16
When the wicked increase, wrongdoing increases;
But the righteous will see their downfall.
