Proverbs 29:7-21
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 29
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.
17
Correct your son, and he will give you comfort;
He will also delight your soul.
18
Where there is no vision, the people are unrestrained,
But happy is one who keeps the Law.
19
A slave will not be instructed by words
alone;
For
though
he understands, there will be no response.
20
Do you see a person who is hasty with his words?
There is more hope for a fool than for him.
21
One who pampers his slave from childhood
Will in the end
find
him to be rebellious.
King James Version
Chapter 29
7
The righteous considereth the cause of the poor: but the wicked regardeth not to know it.
8
Scornful men bring a city into a snare: but wise men turn away wrath.
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.

8
Mockers inflame a city,
but the wise turn away anger.
9
If a wise person goes to court with a fool,
there will be ranting and raving but no resolution.
10
Bloodthirsty men hate an honest person,
but the upright care about him.
11
A fool gives full vent to his anger,
but a wise person holds it in check.
12
If a ruler listens to lies,
all his officials will be wicked.
13
The poor and the oppressor have this in common:
the
Lord
gives light to the eyes of both.
14
A king who judges the poor with fairness—
his throne will be established forever.
15
A rod of correction imparts wisdom,
but a youth left to himself
is a disgrace to his mother.
16
When the wicked increase, rebellion increases,
but the righteous will see their downfall.
17
Discipline your child, and it will bring you peace of mind
and give you delight.
18
Without revelation people run wild,
but one who follows divine instruction will be happy.
19
A servant cannot be disciplined by words;
though he understands, he doesn’t respond.
20
Do you see someone who speaks too soon?
There is more hope for a fool than for him.
21
A servant pampered from his youth
will become arrogant later on.

but the wise will calm anger.

Lord
gives sight to the eyes of both.

but a mother is disgraced by an undisciplined child.
16
When the wicked are in authority, sin flourishes,
but the godly will live to see their downfall.
17
Discipline your children, and they will give you peace of mind
and will make your heart glad.
18
When people do not accept divine guidance, they run wild.
But whoever obeys the law is joyful.
19
Words alone will not discipline a servant;
the words may be understood, but they are not heeded.
20
There is more hope for a fool
than for someone who speaks without thinking.
21
A servant pampered from childhood
will become a rebel.
