Proverbs 29

11  A fool uttereth all his anger; But a wise man keepeth it back and stilleth it.

12  If a ruler hearkeneth to falsehood, All his servants are wicked.

13  The poor man and the oppressor meet together; Jehovah lighteneth the eyes of them both.

14  The king that faithfully judgeth the poor, His throne shall be established for ever.

15  The rod and reproof give wisdom; But a child left to himself causeth shame to his mother.

16  When the wicked are increased, transgression increaseth; But the righteous shall look upon their fall.

17  Correct thy son, and he will give thee rest; Yea, he will give delight unto thy soul.

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

19  A servant will not be corrected by words; For though he understand, he will not give heed.

20  Seest thou a man that is hasty in his words? There is more hope of a fool than of him.
