New International Version Anglicized

Proverbs 29:1-5 New International Version Anglicized (NIVUK)

1. Whoever remains stiff-necked after many rebukeswill suddenly be destroyed – without remedy.

2. When the righteous thrive, the people rejoice;when the wicked rule, the people groan.

3. A man who loves wisdom brings joy to his father,but a companion of prostitutes squanders his wealth.

4. By justice a king gives a country stability,but those who are greedy for bribes tear it down.

5. Those who flatter their neighboursare spreading nets for their feet.
