Proverbs 29 · Grade 4

Self-Control and Trust

Name Date

Read and Think

Proverbs 29 speaks about leaders. When the righteous thrive, the people rejoice; but when the wicked rule, the people groan. The king by justice makes the land stable. The righteous care about justice for the poor. The wicked aren't concerned about knowledge.

Self-control is wisdom. Mockers stir up a city, but wise men turn away anger. A fool vents all of his anger, but a wise man brings himself under control. Do you see a man who is hasty in his words? There is more hope for a fool than for him. A man's pride brings him low, but one of lowly spirit gains honor.

Verse 25 compares two ways to live: The fear of man proves to be a snare, but whoever puts his trust in Yahweh is kept safe. Many seek the ruler's favor, but a man's justice comes from Yahweh.
