Proverbs 29:10-20

10 viri sanguinum oderunt simplicem iusti quaerunt animam eius

11 totum spiritum suum profert stultus sapiens differt et reservat in posterum

12 princeps qui libenter audit verba mendacii omnes ministros habebit impios

13 pauper et creditor obviam fuerunt sibi utriusque inluminator est Dominus

14 rex qui iudicat in veritate pauperes thronus eius in aeternum firmabitur

15 virga atque correptio tribuet sapientiam puer autem qui dimittitur voluntati suae confundet matrem suam

16 in multiplicatione impiorum multiplicabuntur scelera et iusti ruinas eorum videbunt

17 erudi filium tuum et refrigerabit te et dabit delicias animae tuae

18 cum prophetia defecerit dissipabitur populus qui custodit legem beatus est

19 servus verbis non potest erudiri quia quod dicis intellegit et respondere contemnit

20 vidisti hominem velocem ad loquendum stulti magis speranda est quam illius correptio
