Proverbs 29:6-15

⁶A snare shall entangle the wicked man when he sinneth: and the just shall praise and rejoice.

⁷The just taketh notice of the cause of the poor: the wicked is void of knowledge.

⁸Corrupt men bring a city to ruin: but wise men turn away wrath.

⁹If a wise man contend with a fool, whether he be angry or laugh, he shall find no rest.

¹⁰Bloodthirsty men hate the upright: but just men seek his soul.

¹¹A fool uttereth all his mind: a wise man deferreth, and keepeth it till afterwards.

¹²A prince that gladly heareth lying words, hath all his servants wicked.

¹³The poor man and the creditor have met one another: the Lord is the enlightener of them both.

¹⁴The king that judgeth the poor in truth, his throne shall be established for ever.

¹⁵The rod and reproof give wisdom: but the child that is left to his own will bringeth his mother to shame.
