Proverbs 29:1-4

1Whoever remains stiff-necked after many rebukes will suddenly be destroyed—without remedy.

2When the righteous thrive, the people rejoice; when the wicked rule, the people groan.

3A man who loves wisdom brings joy to his father, but a companion of prostitutes squanders his wealth.

4By justice a king gives a country stability, but those who are greedy for Or who give bribes tear it down.
