Proverbs 29:1-3

Modern English Version

29 He who is often reproved, yet hardens his neck,
    will suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy.

² When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice;
    but when the wicked rule, the people mourn.

³ Whoever loves wisdom rejoices his father,
    but he who keeps company with harlots spends his substance.
