something i am studying today...

A fool gives full vent to his anger,
but a wise man keeps himself under control,

If a ruler listens to lies,
all his officials become wicked.

The poor man and the oppressor have this in common:
The Lord gives sight to the eyes of both.

If a king judges the poor with fairness,
his throne will always be secure.

The rod of correction imparts wisdom,
but a child left to himself disgraces his mother.

When the wicked thrive, so does sin,
but the righteous will see their downfall.

Discipline your son, and he will give you peace;
he will bring delight to your soul.

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

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

Do you see a man who speaks in haste?
There is more hope for a fool than for him.

If a man pampers his servant from youth,
he will bring grief in the end.

An angry man stirs up dissension,
and a hot-tempered one commits many sins.

A man's pride brings him low,
but a man of lowly spirit gains honor.

Proverbs 29:11-23
