Proverbs 29:8-21

⁸Men of scorning ensnare a city, And the wise turn back anger.

⁹A wise man is judged by the foolish man, And he hath been angry, And he hath laughed, and there is no rest.

¹⁰Men of blood hate the perfect, And the upright seek his soul.

¹¹A fool bringeth out all his mind, And the wise till afterwards restraineth it.

¹²A ruler who is attending to lying words, All his ministers are wicked.

¹³The poor and the man of frauds have met together, Jehovah is enlightening the eyes of them both.

¹⁴a king that is judging truly the poor, His throne for ever is established.

¹⁵A rod and reproof give wisdom, And a youth let away is shaming his mother.

¹⁶In the multiplying of the wicked transgression multiplieth, And the righteous on their fall do look.

¹⁷Chastise thy son, and he giveth thee comfort, Yea, he giveth delights to thy soul.

¹⁸Without a Vision is a people made naked, And whoso is keeping the law, O his happiness!

¹⁹By words a servant is not instructed though he understand, And there is nothing answering.

²⁰Thou hast seen a man hasty in his words! More hope of a fool than of him.

²¹Whoso is bringing up his servant delicately, from youth, At his latter end also he is continuator.
