Proverbs 29

When the righteous increase, the people rejoice,
but when the wicked rule, the people groan.

An evil man is ensnared in his transgression,
but a righteous man sings and rejoices.

If a wise man has an argument with a fool,
the fool only rages and laughs, and there is no quiet.

A fool gives full vent to his spirit,
but a wise man quietly holds it back.

Where there is no prophetic vision the people cast off restraint,
but blessed is he who keeps the law.

One’s pride will bring him low,
but he who is lowly in spirit will obtain honor.

The fear of man lays a snare,
but whoever trusts in the LORD is safe.
