Proverbs 29:1-27 MEV

[1] He who is often reproved, yet hardens his neck, will suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy. [2] When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; but when the wicked rule, the people mourn. [3] Whoever loves wisdom rejoices his father, but he who keeps company with harlots spends his substance. [4] The king establishes the land by judgment, but he who receives bribes overthrows it. [5] A man who flatters his neighbor spreads a net for his feet. [6] In the transgression of an evil man there is a snare, but the righteous sing and rejoice. [7] The righteous considers the cause of the poor, but the wicked regards not to know it. [8] Scornful men bring a city into a snare, but wise men turn away wrath. [9] If a wise man contends with a foolish man, whether he rage or laugh, there is no rest. [10] The bloodthirsty hate the upright, but the just seek his soul. [11] A fool utters all his mind, but a wise man keeps it in until afterwards. [12] If a ruler listens to lies, all his servants are wicked. [13] The poor and the deceitful man have this in common: The LORD gives light to the eyes of both. [14] The king who faithfully judges the poor, his throne will be established forever. [15] The rod and reproof give wisdom, but a child left to himself brings his mother to shame. [16] When the wicked are multiplied, transgression increases; but the righteous will see their fall. [17] Correct your son, and he will give you rest; yes, he will give delight to your soul. [18] Where there is no vision, the people perish; but happy is he who keeps the teaching. [19] A servant will not be corrected by words, for though he understands he will not answer. [20] Do you see a man who is hasty in his words? There is more hope for a fool than for him. [21] He who delicately brings up his servant from a child will have him as a son in the end. [22] An angry man stirs up strife, and a furious man abounds in transgression. [23] A man's pride will bring him low, but honor will uphold the humble in spirit. [24] Whoever is partner with a thief hates his own soul; he hears the oath but tells nothing. [25] The fear of man brings a snare, but whoever puts his trust in the LORD will be safe. [26] Many seek the ruler's favor, but every man's judgment comes from the LORD. [27] An unjust man is an abomination to the just, and he who is upright in the way is an abomination to the wicked.
