Proverbs 29:1-5 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

1. A man who is reproved, being stubborn of neck— suddenly he will be broken, and there will not be healing.

2. When the righteous are numerous, the people will rejoice, but when the wicked are ruling, people will groan.

3. A man who loves wisdom will make his parents glad, but the friend of prostitutes will squander his wealth.

4. By justice a king gives stability to a land, but a man of bribes will ruin it.

5. A strong man who flatters his neighbor is spreading a net for his feet.
