Proverbs 29:1-9
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 29
1A person often rebuked who becomes obstinate Will suddenly be broken beyond remedy. 2When the righteous increase, the people rejoice, But when a wicked person rules, people groan. 3A man who loves wisdom makes his father glad, But he who involves himself with prostitutes wastes his wealth. 4The king gives stability to the land by justice, But a person who takes bribes ruins it. 5A man who flatters his neighbor Is spreading a net for his steps. 6By wrongdoing an evil person is ensnared, But the righteous sings and rejoices. 7The righteous is concerned for the rights of the poor; The wicked does not understand such concern. 8Arrogant people inflame a city, But wise people turn away anger. 9When a wise person has a controversy with a foolish person, The foolish person either rages or laughs, and there is no rest.King James Version

Chapter 29
1 He who is often reproved, yet stiffens his neck, will suddenly be broken beyond healing. 2When the righteous increase, the people rejoice, but when the wicked rule, the people groan. 3He who loves wisdom makes his father glad, but a companion of prostitutes squanders his wealth. 4By justice a king builds up the land, but he who exacts gifts tears it down. 5 A man who flatters his neighbor spreads a net for his feet. 6An evil man is ensnared in his transgression, but a righteous man sings and rejoices. 7A righteous man knows the rights of the poor; a wicked man does not understand such knowledge. 8 Scoffers set a city aflame, but the wise turn away wrath. 9If a wise man has an argument with a fool, the fool only rages and laughs, and there is no quiet.New International Version
