Proverbs 29:11-24

¹¹Stupid people let all their anger out, while wise people quietly hold it in.

¹²A ruler who listens to lies will have nothing but wicked officials.

¹³Poor people and their oppressors have this in common: the Lord gives life to all of them.

¹⁴If a king judges the poor fairly, he will have a long rule.

¹⁵Discipline and correction provide wisdom, but a son left undisciplined is an embarrassment to his mother.

¹⁶When the wicked are in power, sin increases; but the good will see their downfall.

¹⁷Discipline your children and they won't give you any worries; they will make you very happy.

¹⁸Without a revelation from God, the people go out of control, but those who keep the law are happy.

¹⁹A servant can't be disciplined by words alone; though they understand, they don't follow what they're told.

²⁰Have you seen a man who speaks without thinking? There's more hope for stupid people than for him!

²¹A servant indulged from childhood will in the end become unmanageable.

²²Angry people stir up trouble, those with short tempers commit many sins.

²³If you're proud, you'll be humiliated; but if you're humble, you'll be honored.

²⁴A thief's partner hates his life; even under the threat of being cursed he can't tell the truth.
