Proverbs
Chapters 29:1-6
New International Version Anglicized
1Whoever remains stiff-necked after many rebukeswill suddenly be destroyed – without remedy.
2When the righteous thrive, the people rejoice;when the wicked rule, the people groan.
3A man who loves wisdom brings joy to his father,but a companion of prostitutes squanders his wealth.
4By justice a king gives a country stability,but those who are greedy for bribes tear it down.
5Those who flatter their neighboursare spreading nets for their feet.
6Evildoers are snared by their own sin,but the righteous shout for joy and are glad.
