Proverbs 29:1-3
The Message

If People Can’t See What God Is Doing

29 For people who hate discipline
    and only get more stubborn,
There’ll come a day when life tumbles in and they break,
    but by then it’ll be too late to help them.

2 When good people run things, everyone is glad,
    but when the ruler is bad, everyone groans.

3 If you love wisdom, you’ll delight your parents,
    but you’ll destroy their trust if you run with prostitutes.
