Proverbs 29:3 BBE

¹  A man hating sharp words and making his heart hard, will suddenly be broken and will not be made well again.

²  When the upright have power, the people are glad; when an evil man is ruler, grief comes on the people.

³  A man who is a lover of wisdom is a joy to his father: but he who goes in the company of loose women is a waster of wealth.

⁴  A king, by right rule, makes the land safe; but one full of desires makes it a waste.

⁵  A man who says smooth things to his neighbour is stretching out a net for his steps.
