“He, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy.
When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.
Whoso loveth wisdom rejoiceth his father: but he that keepeth company with harlots spendeth his substance.
The king by judgment establisheth the land: but he that receiveth gifts overthroweth it.”  Proverbs 29:1-4 (KJB)

Some thoughts from Proverbs 29:1-27

1.  The ruin of stubborn, rebellious minds; and the value of the righteous (vv. 1-4; 16:12);
2.  The practices of evil, and evil men leads to their own ensnaring (vv. 5-6);
3.  The understanding of the righteous versus the evil; concerning the poor (v. 7; 28:50; Job 29:16; Psalm 41:1);
4.  A description of the rage, havoc, and folly that accompany evil practices (vv. 8-11);
5.  A wise king listens to good counsel (vv. 12-14);
6.  A good society and good culture begin with the parents at home in the discipline and teaching of their children; guiding them in their lives with vision (vv. 15-18);
7.  People in authority are wise to use words of positive and negative words with actions to discipline (vv. 19-22)
8.  The fall of the proud (16:18( and the honor of the humble (v. 23);
9.  The peril of the soul of a thief and his partner (v. 24);
10.  Fearing God and/or fearing man – the contrast (vv. 25-26);
11.  Righteousness and evil detest one another (v. 27),

“An unjust man is an abomination to the just: and he that is upright in the way is abomination to the wicked.” Proverbs 29:27

This detestation of evil for righteousness, and righteousness for evil is quite visible in our society and culture of 2019.

There is only One Righteous One, and He will give, and has given His righteousness to all who will call on His name.  He is Jesus the crucified, buried, and bodily risen One.  If you detest; that is hate; the Righteous One, then you will perish.
