Text -- Proverbs 29:1-11 (NET)

Strongs On/Off
Context
29:1 The one who stiffens his neck after numerous rebukes will suddenly be destroyed without remedy. 29:2 When the righteous become numerous, the people rejoice; when the wicked rule, the people groan. 29:3 The man who loves wisdom brings joy to his father, but whoever associates with prostitutes wastes his wealth. 29:4 A king brings stability to a land by justice, but one who exacts tribute tears it down. 29:5 The one who flatters his neighbor spreads a net for his steps. 29:6 In the transgression of an evil person there is a snare, but a righteous person can sing and rejoice. 29:7 The righteous person cares for the legal rights of the poor; the wicked does not understand such knowledge. 29:8 Scornful people inflame a city, but those who are wise turn away wrath. 29:9 If a wise person goes to court with a foolish person, there is no peace whether he is angry or laughs. 29:10 Bloodthirsty people hate someone with integrity; as for the upright, they seek his life. 29:11 A fool lets fly with all his temper, but a wise person keeps it back.
