Proverbs 29:10-20 New Century Version (NCV)

10. Murderers hate an honest personand try to kill those who do right.

11. Foolish people lose their tempers,but wise people control theirs.

12. If a ruler pays attention to lies,all his officers will become wicked.

13. The poor person and the cruel person are alikein that the Lord gave eyes to both of them.

14. If a king judges poor people fairly,his government will continue forever.

15. Correction and punishment make children wise,but those left alone will disgrace their mother.

16. When there are many wicked people, there is much sin,but those who do right will see them destroyed.

17. Correct your children, and you will be proud;they will give you satisfaction.

18. Where there is no word from God, people are uncontrolled,but those who obey what they have been taught are happy.

19. Words alone cannot correct a servant,because even if they understand, they won’t respond.

20. Do you see people who speak too quickly?There is more hope for a foolish person than for them.
