Proverbs 29:13-27
Proverbs 29:13-27 CSB
The poor and the oppressor have this in common: the LORD gives light to the eyes of both. A king who judges the poor with fairness — his throne will be established forever. A rod of correction imparts wisdom, but a youth left to himself is a disgrace to his mother. When the wicked increase, rebellion increases, but the righteous will see their downfall. Discipline your child, and it will bring you peace of mind and give you delight. Without revelation , people run wild, but one who follows divine instruction will be happy. A servant cannot be disciplined by words; though he understands, he doesn’t respond. Do you see someone who speaks too soon? There is more hope for a fool than for him. A servant pampered from his youth will become arrogant later on. An angry person stirs up conflict, and a hot-tempered one increases rebellion. A person’s pride will humble him, but a humble spirit will gain honor. To be a thief’s partner is to hate oneself; he hears the curse but will not testify. The fear of mankind is a snare, but the one who trusts in the LORD is protected. , Many desire a ruler’s favor, but a person receives justice from the LORD. An unjust person is detestable to the righteous, and one whose way is upright is detestable to the wicked.
