Proverbs 29:10-16 New International Version (NIV)

10. The bloodthirsty hate a person of integrity and seek to kill the upright.

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

12. If a ruler listens to lies, all his officials become wicked.

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

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

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

16. When the wicked thrive, so does sin, but the righteous will see their downfall.
