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.
