Proverbs 29:10-19

¹⁰Men-quellers hate a simple man; but just or rightwise men seek his soul.

¹¹A fool bringeth forth all his spirit; a wise man delayeth, and reserveth into time coming afterward.

¹²A prince that heareth willfully the words of leasing, shall have all his servants unfaithful.

¹³A poor man and a lender met themselves; the Lord is the lightener of ever either.

¹⁴If a king deemeth poor men in truth, his throne shall be made steadfast into without end.

¹⁵A rod and chastising or discipline shall give wisdom; but a child, that is left to his own will, shameth his mother.

¹⁶Great trespasses shall be multiplied in the multiplying of wicked men; and just or rightwise men shall see the fallings of them.

¹⁷Teach thy son, and he shall comfort thee; and he shall give delights to thy soul.

¹⁸When prophecy faileth, the people shall be destroyed; but he that keepeth the law, is blessed.

¹⁹A servant may not be taught by words; for he understandeth that that thou sayest, and he despiseth to answer.
