Proverbs 29:13-21 Modern English Version (MEV)

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.

18. Where there is no vision, the people perish;but happy is he who keeps the teaching.

19. A servant will not be corrected by words,for though he understands he will not answer.

20. Do you see a man who is hasty in his words?There is more hope for a fool than for him.

21. He who delicately brings up his servant from a childwill have him as a son in the end.
