Proverbs 29:10-17 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.

16. When the wicked are multiplied, transgression increases;But the righteous will see their fall.

17. Correct your son, and he will give you rest;Yes, he will give delight to your soul.
