Proverbs 29:17-27

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

21 qui delicate a pueritia nutrit servum suum postea illum sentiet contumacem

22 vir iracundus provocat rixas et qui ad indignandum facilis est erit ad peccata proclivior

23 superbum sequitur humilitas et humilem spiritu suscipiet gloria

24 qui cum fure partitur odit animam suam adiurantem audit et non indicat

25 qui timet hominem cito corruet qui sperat in Domino sublevabitur

26 multi requirunt faciem principis et a Domino iudicium egreditur singulorum

27 abominantur iusti virum impium et abominantur impii eos qui in recta sunt via
