## Proverbs 29:11-15 in Context (Verses 8–18 KJV)
 
 [8 ](/kjv/proverbs/29/8) Scornful men bring a city into a snare: but wise *men* turn away wrath.*
 
 [9 ](/kjv/proverbs/29/9) *If* a wise man contendeth with a foolish man, whether he rage or laugh, *there is* no rest.
 
 [10 ](/kjv/proverbs/29/10) The bloodthirsty hate the upright: but the just seek his soul.*
 
 [11 ](/kjv/proverbs/29/11) A fool uttereth all his mind: but a wise *man* keepeth it in till afterwards.
 
 [12 ](/kjv/proverbs/29/12) If a ruler hearken to lies, all his servants *are* wicked.
 
 [13 ](/kjv/proverbs/29/13) The poor and the deceitful man meet together: the LORD lighteneth both their eyes.*
 
 [14 ](/kjv/proverbs/29/14) The king that faithfully judgeth the poor, his throne shall be established for ever.
 
 [15 ](/kjv/proverbs/29/15) The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left *to himself* bringeth his mother to shame.
 
 [16 ](/kjv/proverbs/29/16) When the wicked are multiplied, transgression increaseth: but the righteous shall see their fall.
 
 [17 ](/kjv/proverbs/29/17) Correct thy son, and he shall give thee rest; yea, he shall give delight unto thy soul.
 
 [18 ](/kjv/proverbs/29/18) Where *there is* no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy *is* he.*
