wisdom and justice (Prov 29)

He who is often reproved, yet stiffens his neck, will suddenly be broken beyond healing.

When the righteous increase, the people rejoice, but when the wicked rule, the people groan.
He who loves wisdom makes his father glad, but a companion of prostitutes squanders his wealth.
By justice a king builds up the land, but he who exacts gifts tears it down.
A man who flatters his neighbour spreads a net for his feet.
An evil man is ensnared in his transgression, but a righteous man sings and rejoices.
A righteous man knows the rights of the poor; a wicked man does not understand such knowledge.

The poor man and the oppressor meet together; the Lord gives light to the eyes of both.
If a king faithfully judges the poor, his throne will be established forever.
The rod and reproof give wisdom, but a child left to himself brings shame to his mother.
When the wicked increase, transgression increases, but the righteous will look upon their downfall.

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

Many seek the face of a ruler, but it is from the Lord that a man gets justice.
An unjust man is an abomination to the righteous, but one whose way is straight is an abomination to the wicked.
