Proverbs 29:11-17 Modern English Version (MEV)

11. A fool utters all his mind,but a wise man keeps it in until afterwards.

12. If a ruler listens to lies,all his servants are wicked.

13. The poor and the deceitful man have this in common:The Lord gives light to the eyes of both.

14. The king who faithfully judges the poor,his throne will be established forever.

15. The rod and reproof give wisdom,but a child left to himself brings his mother to shame.

16. When the wicked are multiplied, transgression increases;but the righteous will see their fall.

17. Correct your son, and he will give you rest;yes, he will give delight to your soul.
