New King James Version

Proverbs 29:10-15 New King James Version (NKJV)

10. The bloodthirsty hate the blameless,But the upright seek his well-being.

11. A fool vents all his feelings,But a wise man holds them back.

12. If a ruler pays attention to lies,All his servants become wicked.

13. The poor man and the oppressor have this in common:The Lord gives light to the eyes of both.

14. The king who judges the poor with truth,His throne will be established forever.

15. The rod and rebuke give wisdom,But a child left to himself brings shame to his mother.
