Proverbs 29:1-3

New International Reader's Version

29 Whoever still won’t obey after being warned many times
    will suddenly be destroyed. Nothing can save them.

² When those who do right grow stronger, the people are glad.
    But when those who do wrong become rulers, the people groan.

³ A man who loves wisdom makes his father glad.
    But a man who spends time with prostitutes wastes his father’s wealth.
