New Testament

Proverbs 29:10-16 American Standard Version (ASV)

10. The bloodthirsty hate him that is perfect; And as for the upright, they seek his life.

11. A fool uttereth all his anger; But a wise man keepeth it back and stilleth it.

12. If a ruler hearkeneth to falsehood, All his servants are wicked.

13. The poor man and the oppressor meet together; Jehovah lighteneth the eyes of them both.

14. The king that faithfully judgeth the poor, His throne shall be established for ever.

15. The rod and reproof give wisdom; But a child left to himself causeth shame to his mother.

16. When the wicked are increased, transgression increaseth; But the righteous shall look upon their fall.
