Proverbs
Chapters 29:1-4
Amplified Bible
1HE WHO, being often reproved, hardens his neck shall suddenly be destroyed–and that without remedy.
2When the [uncompromisingly] righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; but when the wicked man rules, the people groan and sigh.
3Whoever loves skillful and godly Wisdom rejoices his father, but he who associates with harlots wastes his substance.
4The king by justice establishes the land, but he who exacts gifts and tribute overthrows it.
