blessed is the one who heeds wisdom’s instruction

Proverbs 29:1-27

Whoever remains stiff-necked after many rebukes will suddenly be destroyed—without remedy.

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

Mockers stir up a city, but the wise turn away anger.

Fools give full vent to their rage, but the wise bring calm in the end.

If a king judges the poor with fairness, his throne will be established forever.

A rod and a reprimand impart wisdom, but a child left undisciplined disgraces its mother.

Discipline your children, and they will give you peace; they will bring you the delights you desire.

Where there is no revelation, people cast off restraint; but blessed is the one who heeds wisdom’s instruction.

Do you see someone who speaks in haste? There is more hope for a fool than for them.

An angry person stirs up conflict, and a hot-tempered person commits many sins.

Pride brings a person low, but the lowly in spirit gain honor.

Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord is kept safe.

Many seek an audience with a ruler, but it is from the Lord that one gets justice.

Why?

A nation needs justice to maintain stability.

Fools is related to rage and anger, but wisdom is connected with the Lord and humility.

Do not speak in haste it is like a fool without hope.

An angry person can not do anything but stir up conflict.

Many seek an audience with a ruler, or richer, but only from the Lord that one get justice.

How?

Keep the instructions of the Lord is wisdom.
