Proverbs 29:17-27

¹⁷Chasten thy son, and he shall give thee rest, and shall give delight unto thy soul.

¹⁸Where there is no vision the people cast off restraint; but happy is he that keepeth the law.

¹⁹A servant is not corrected by words: he understandeth indeed, but he will not answer.

²⁰Hast thou seen a man hasty in his words? there is more hope of a fool than of him.

²¹He that delicately bringeth up his servant from a child, shall in the end have him as a son.

²²An angry man exciteth contention; and a furious man aboundeth in transgression.

²³A man's pride bringeth him low; but the humble in spirit shall obtain honour.

²⁴Whoso shareth with a thief hateth his own soul: he heareth the adjuration, and declareth not.

²⁵The fear of man bringeth a snare; but whoso putteth his confidence in Jehovah is protected.

²⁶Many seek the ruler's face; but a man's right judgment is from Jehovah.

²⁷An unjust man is an abomination to the righteous; and he that is of upright way is an abomination to the wicked man.
