Proverbs 29:18-27 Revised Version 1885 (RV1885)

18. Where there is no vision, the people cast off restraint: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.

19. A servant will not be corrected by words: for though he understand he will not give heed.

20. Seest thou a man that is hasty in his words? there is more hope of a fool than of him.

21. He that delicately bringeth up his servant from a child shall have him become a son at the last.

22. An angry man stirreth up strife, and a wrathful man aboundeth in transgression.

23. A man's pride shall bring him low: but he that is of a lowly spirit shall obtain honour.

24. Whoso is partner with a thief hateth his own soul: he heareth the adjuration and uttereth nothing.

25. The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the Lord shall be safe.

26. Many seek the ruler's favour: but a man's judgment cometh from the Lord.

27. An unjust man is an abomination to the righteous: and he that is upright in the way is an abomination to the wicked.
