Proverbs
Chapters 29:9-15
Amplified Bible
9If a wise man has an argument with a foolish man, the fool only rages or laughs, and there is no rest.
10The bloodthirsty hate the blameless man, but the upright care for and seek [to save] his life. [Gen. 4:5, 8; I John 3:12.]
11A [self-confident] fool utters all his anger, but a wise man holds it back and stills it.
12If a ruler listens to falsehood, all his officials will become wicked.
13The poor man and the oppressor meet together–the Lord gives light to the eyes of both.
14The king who faithfully judges the poor, his throne shall be established continuously.
15The rod and reproof give wisdom, but a child left undisciplined brings his mother to shame.
