Proverbios 29:1-7

1 El hombre que reprendido endurece la cerviz, de repente será quebrantado; y no habrá para él medicina.

2 Cuando los justos dominan, el pueblo se alegra; mas cuando domina el impío, el pueblo gime.

3 El hombre que ama la sabiduría, alegra a su padre; mas el que mantiene rameras, perderá la hacienda.

4 El rey con el juicio afirma la tierra; mas el hombre amigo de presentes la destruirá.

5 El hombre que lisonjea a su prójimo, red tiende delante de sus pasos.

6 En la prevaricación del hombre malo hay lazo; mas el justo cantará y se alegrará.

7 Conoce el justo el derecho de los pobres; mas el impío no entiende sabiduría.
