Proverbs 29:14-23 World Messianic Bible British Edition (WMBBE)

14. The king who fairly judges the poor,his throne shall be established forever.

15. The rod of correction gives wisdom,but a child left to himself causes shame to his mother.

16. When the wicked increase, sin increases;but the righteous will see their downfall.

17. Correct your son, and he will give you peace;yes, he will bring delight to your soul.

18. Where there is no revelation, the people cast off restraint;but one who keeps the Torah is blessed.

19. A servant can’t be corrected by words.Though he understands, yet he will not respond.

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 servant from youthwill have him become a son in the end.

22. An angry man stirs up strife,and a wrathful man abounds in sin.

23. A man’s pride brings him low,but one of lowly spirit gains honour.
