Proverbs 29:10-18
The Message
Proverbs 29:10-18
The Message
10 Murderers hate honest people;
moral folks encourage them.
11 A fool lets it all hang out;
a sage quietly mulls it over.
12 When a leader listens to malicious gossip,
all the workers get infected with evil.
13 The poor and their abusers have at least something in common:
they can both see—their sight, God’s gift!
14 Leadership gains authority and respect
when the voiceless poor are treated fairly.
15 Wise discipline imparts wisdom;
spoiled adolescents embarrass their parents.
16 When degenerates take charge, crime runs wild,
but the righteous will eventually observe their collapse.
17 Discipline your children; you’ll be glad you did—
they’ll turn out delightful to live with.
18 If people can’t see what God is doing,
they stumble all over themselves;
But when they attend to what he reveals,
they are most blessed.
Proverbs 29:10-18
New International Version
Proverbs 29:10-18
New International Version
10 The bloodthirsty hate a person of integrity
and seek to kill the upright.(A)
13 The poor and the oppressor have this in common:
The Lord gives sight to the eyes of both.(F)
14 If a king judges the poor with fairness,
his throne will be established forever.(G)
15 A rod and a reprimand impart wisdom,
but a child left undisciplined disgraces its mother.(H)
16 When the wicked thrive, so does sin,
but the righteous will see their downfall.(I)
17 Discipline your children, and they will give you peace;
they will bring you the delights you desire.(J)
18 Where there is no revelation, people cast off restraint;
but blessed is the one who heeds wisdom’s instruction.(K)
