Proverbs 29:14-25 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

14. If a king judges the poor with truth, His throne will be established forever.

15. The rod and reproof give wisdom, But a child who gets his own way brings shame to his mother.

16. When the wicked increase, transgression increases; But the righteous will see their fall.

17. Correct your son, and he will give you comfort; He will also delight your soul.

18. Where there is no vision, the people are unrestrained, But happy is he who keeps the law.

19. A slave will not be instructed by words alone; For though he understands, there will be no response.

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 pampers his slave from childhood Will in the end find him to be a son.

22. An angry man stirs up strife, And a hot-tempered man abounds in transgression.

23. A man's pride will bring him low, But a humble spirit will obtain honor.

24. He who is a partner with a thief hates his own life; He hears the oath but tells nothing.

25. The fear of man brings a snare, But he who trusts in the Lord will be exalted.
