Chapter 29

1


 

  He that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and without remedy.  

 

 

--

2


 

  When the righteous increase, the people rejoice; but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.  

 

 

--

3


 

  Whoso loveth wisdom rejoiceth his father; but he that is a companion of harlots destroyeth [his] substance.  

 

 

--

4


 

  A king by just judgment establisheth the land; but he that taketh gifts overthroweth it.  

 

 

--

5


 

  A man that flattereth his neighbour spreadeth a net for his steps.  

 

 

--

6


 

  In the transgression of an evil man there is a snare; but the righteous shall sing and rejoice.  

 

 

--

7


 

  The righteous taketh knowledge of the cause of the poor; the wicked understandeth not knowledge.  

 

 

--

8


 

  Scornful men set the city in a flame; but the wise turn away anger.  

 

 

--

9


 

  If a wise man contendeth with a fool, whether he rage or laugh, [he] hath no rest.  

 

 

--

10


 

  The bloodthirsty hate the perfect, but the upright care for his soul.  

 

 

--

11


 

  A fool uttereth all his mind; but a wise [man] keepeth it back.  

 

 

--

12


 

  If a ruler hearken to lying words, all his servants are wicked.  

 

 

--

13


 

  The indigent and the oppressor meet together; Jehovah lighteneth the eyes of them both.  

 

 

--

14


 

  A king that faithfully judgeth the poor, his throne shall be established for ever.  

 

 

--

15


 

  The rod and reproof give wisdom; but a child left [to himself] bringeth his mother to shame.  

 

 

--

16


 

  When the wicked increase, transgression increaseth; but the righteous shall see their fall.  

 

 

--

17


 

  Chasten thy son, and he shall give thee rest, and shall give delight unto thy soul.  

 

 

--

18


 

  Where there is no vision the people cast off restraint; but happy is he that keepeth the law.  

 

 

--

19


 

  A servant is not corrected by words: he understandeth indeed, but he will not answer.  

 

 

--

20


 

  Hast thou seen a man hasty in his words? there is more hope of a fool than of him.  

 

 

--

21


 

  He that delicately bringeth up his servant from a child, shall in the end have him as a son.  

 

 

--

22


 

  An angry man exciteth contention; and a furious man aboundeth in transgression.  

 

 

--

23


 

  A man's pride bringeth him low; but the humble in spirit shall obtain honour.  

 

 

--

24


 

  Whoso shareth with a thief hateth his own soul: he heareth the adjuration, and declareth not.  

 

 

--

25


 

  The fear of man bringeth a snare; but whoso putteth his confidence in Jehovah is protected.  

 

 

--

26


 

  Many seek the ruler's face; but a man's right judgment is from Jehovah.  

 

 

--

27


 

  An unjust man is an abomination to the righteous; and he that is of upright way is an abomination to the wicked [man].
