Proverbs 29:11-23 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

11. A fool utters all his mind: but a wise man keeps it in till afterwards.

12. If a ruler hearkens to lies, all his servants are wicked.

13. The poor and the deceitful man meet together: the LORD lightens both their eyes.

14. The king that faithfully judges the poor, his throne shall 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 shall see their fall.

17. Correct your son, and he shall give you rest; yea, he shall give delight unto your soul.

18. Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keeps the law, happy is he.

19. A servant will not be corrected by words: for though he understands he will not answer.

20. See you a man that is hasty in his words? there is more hope for a fool than for him.

21. He that carefully brings up his servant from a child shall have him become his son in the end.

22. An angry man stirs up strife, and a furious man abounds in transgression.

23. A man's pride shall bring him low: but honor shall uphold the humble in spirit.
