Proverbs 29:15 - Forerunner Commentary

Proverbs 29:15

13 The poor man and the oppressor have this in common:
^aThe Lord gives light to the eyes of both.

14 The king who judges the ^apoor with truth,
His throne will be established forever.

15 The rod and rebuke give ^awisdom,
But a child left to himself brings shame to his mother.

16 When the wicked are multiplied, transgression increases;
But the righteous will see their ^afall.

17 Correct your son, and he will give you rest;
Yes, he will give delight to your soul.

18 ^aWhere there is no¹ revelation, the people cast off restraint;
But ^bhappy is he who keeps the law.

19 A servant will not be corrected by mere words;
For though he understands, he will not respond.

20 Do you see a man hasty in his words?
^aThere is more hope for a fool than for him.
