Chapter 29 |
1 | He, that being often reproved hardeneth his
neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy. |
2 |
When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked
beareth rule, the people mourn. |
3
| Whoso loveth wisdom rejoiceth his father: but he that keepeth
company with harlots spendeth his substance. |
4 | The king by
judgment establisheth the land: but he that receiveth gifts overthroweth
it. |
5 |
A man that flattereth his neighbour spreadeth a net for his feet. |
6 |
In the transgression of an evil man there is a snare: but the righteous doth
sing and rejoice. |
7 |
The righteous considereth the cause of the poor: but the wicked
regardeth not to know it. |
8 |
Scornful men bring a city into a snare: but wise men turn away wrath. |
9 | If a wise man contendeth with a foolish
man, whether he rage or laugh, there is no rest. |
10 | The bloodthirsty hate the upright: but the
just seek his soul. |
11 |
A fool uttereth all his mind: but a wise man keepeth it in till
afterwards. |
12 | If a
ruler hearken to lies, all his servants are wicked. |
13 | The poor and the deceitful man meet
together: the LORD lighteneth both their eyes. |
14 |
The 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 are multiplied, transgression increaseth: but the
righteous shall see their fall. |
17 |
Correct thy son, and he shall give thee rest; yea, he shall give delight
unto thy soul. |
18 | Where
there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law,
happy is he. |
19 | A servant will
not be corrected by words: for though he understand he will not answer. |
20
| Seest thou a man that is 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 have him become his son at the length. |
22 | An angry man stirreth up strife, and a
furious man aboundeth in transgression. |
23 |
A man's pride shall bring him low: but honour shall 1uphold
the humble in spirit.

|
24 |
Whoso is partner with a thief hateth his own soul: he heareth cursing,
and bewrayeth it not. |
25 |
The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the
LORD shall be safe. |
26 |
Many seek the ruler's favour; but every man's judgment cometh from the
LORD. |
27
| An unjust man is an abomination to the just: and he that is
upright in the way is abomination to the wicked. |
