Proverbs 29:2

1 A man who remains stiff-necked after much reproof will suddenly be shattered beyond recovery.

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

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

4 By justice a king brings stability to the land, but a man who exacts tribute demolishes it.

Dette ble sagt til Israel i en bestemt tid, så det er lurt å lese det sammen med teksten rundt. Les gjerne versene rundt også, for sammenhengen gir ofte mer enn ett vers alene.
