Proverbs 29:1-3

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

29 One who is often reproved, yet remains stubborn,
    will suddenly be broken beyond healing.
² When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice;
    but when the wicked rule, the people groan.
³ A child who loves wisdom makes a parent glad,
    but to keep company with prostitutes is to squander one’s substance.
