Chapter 29

1


 

  A man often reproved, hardening the neck, Is suddenly broken, and there is no healing.  

 

 

--

2


 

  In the multiplying of the righteous the people rejoice, And in the ruling of the wicked the people sigh.  

 

 

--

3


 

  A man loving wisdom rejoiceth his father, And a friend of harlots destroyeth wealth.  

 

 

--

4


 

  A king by judgment establisheth a land, And one receiving gifts throweth it down.  

 

 

--

5


 

  A man taking a portion above his neighbour, Spreadeth a net for his own steps.  

 

 

--

6


 

  In the transgression of the evil [is] a snare, And the righteous doth sing and rejoice.  

 

 

--

7


 

  The righteous knoweth the plea of the poor, The wicked understandeth not knowledge.  

 

 

--

8


 

  Men of scorning ensnare a city, And the wise turn back anger.  

 

 

--

9


 

  A wise man is judged by the foolish man, And he hath been angry, And he hath laughed, and there is no rest.  

 

 

--

10


 

  Men of blood hate the perfect, And the upright seek his soul.  

 

 

--

11


 

  A fool bringeth out all his mind, And the wise till afterwards restraineth it.  

 

 

--

12


 

  A ruler who is attending to lying words, All his ministers [are] wicked.  

 

 

--

13


 

  The poor and the man of frauds have met together, Jehovah is enlightening the eyes of them both.  

 

 

--

14


 

  a king that is judging truly the poor, His throne for ever is established.  

 

 

--

15


 

  A rod and reproof give wisdom, And a youth let away is shaming his mother.  

 

 

--

16


 

  In the multiplying of the wicked transgression multiplieth, And the righteous on their fall do look.  

 

 

--

17


 

  Chastise thy son, and he giveth thee comfort, Yea, he giveth delights to thy soul.  

 

 

--

18


 

  Without a Vision is a people made naked, And whoso is keeping the law, O his happiness!  

 

 

--

19


 

  By words a servant is not instructed though he understand, And there is nothing answering.  

 

 

--

20


 

  Thou hast seen a man hasty in his words! More hope of a fool than of him.  

 

 

--

21


 

  Whoso is bringing up his servant delicately, from youth, [At] his latter end also he is continuator.  

 

 

--

22


 

  An angry man stirreth up contention, And a furious man is multiplying transgression.  

 

 

--

23


 

  The pride of man humbleth him, And humility of spirit upholdeth honour.  

 

 

--

24


 

  Whoso is sharing with a thief is hating his own soul, Execration he heareth, and telleth not.  

 

 

--

25


 

  Fear of man causeth a snare, And the confident in Jehovah is set on high.  

 

 

--

26


 

  Many are seeking the face of a ruler, And from Jehovah [is] the judgment of each.  

 

 

--

27


 

  An abomination to the righteous [is] the perverse man, And an abomination to the wicked [is] the upright in the way!
