Proverbs 29:21

Correction, Justice, Righteous Rule, Fear of Man, and Trust in the LORD

The chapter moves from hardened resistance to correction, to righteous and wicked leadership, to justice for the poor, to public conflict and anger, to the influence of rulers, to discipline and revelation, to speech and pride, and finally to fear of man, trust in the LORD, and the ultimate source of justice.
