Proverbs 29:1-6

¹A man often reproved, hardening the neck, Is suddenly broken, and there is no healing.

²In the multiplying of the righteous the people rejoice, And in the ruling of the wicked the people sigh.

³A man loving wisdom rejoiceth his father, And a friend of harlots destroyeth wealth.

⁴A king by judgment establisheth a land, And one receiving gifts throweth it down.

⁵A man taking a portion above his neighbour, Spreadeth a net for his own steps.

⁶In the transgression of the evil is a snare, And the righteous doth sing and rejoice.
