Proverbs 29:9-15 Modern English Version (MEV)

9. If a wise man contends with a foolish man,whether he rage or laugh, there is no rest.

10. The bloodthirsty hate the upright,but the just seek his soul.

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.
