Proverbs 29:11-21

11 A foolish person lets his anger run wild. But a wise person keeps himself under control.
12 If rulers listen to lies, all their officials become evil.
13 The LORD gives sight to the eyes of poor people and those who beat others down. That's what they both have in common.
14 If a king judges poor people fairly, his throne will always be secure.
15 If a child is corrected, he becomes wise. But a child left to himself brings shame to his mother.
16 When those who do wrong grow stronger, so does sin. But those who do right will see them destroyed.
17 If you train your children, they will give you peace. They will bring delight to you.
18 Where there is no message from God, the people don't control themselves. But blessed are those who obey the law.
19 A servant can't be corrected only by words. Even if he understands, he won't obey.
20 Have you seen a man who speaks without thinking? There is more hope for foolish people than for him.
21 If you spoil your servant while he is young, he will bring you sorrow later on.
