Nuggets of Wisdom

19 Servants cannot be corrected by mere words; though they understand, they will not respond.

18 Where there is no revelation, people cast off restraint; but blessed is the one who heeds wisdom's instruction.

17 Discipline your children, and they will give you peace; they will bring you the delights you desire.

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

15 A rod and a reprimand impart wisdom, but a child left undisciplined disgraces its mother.

14 If a king judges the poor with fairness, his throne will be established forever.

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

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