Proverbios 29:1-8

1 EL hombre que reprendido endurece la cerviz, De repente será quebrantado; ni 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 á su padre: Mas el que mantiene rameras, perderá la hacienda.
4 El rey con el juicio afirma la tierra: Mas el hombre de presentes la destruirá.
5 El hombre que lisonjea á 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 la causa de los pobres: Mas el impío no entiende sabiduría.
8 Los hombres escarnecedores enlazan la ciudad: Mas los sabios apartan la ira.
