Proverbs 29
29
1He who is often reproved, yet stiffens his neck,
will suddenly be destroyed without remedy. # 1Sa 2:25; Pr 6:15
2When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice, # Est 8:15
but when the wicked rule, the people groan. # Pr 28:12
3He who loves wisdom makes his father glad, # Pr 10:1
but he who keeps company with prostitutes squanders his wealth. # Lk 15:30
4The king by justice establishes the land, # Pr 29:14
but a man of bribes overthrows it.
5A man who flatters his neighbor # Ps 5:9
spreads a net for his feet.
6An evil man is ensnared by his sin, # Ecc 9:12
but a righteous man sings and rejoices.
7The righteous consider the cause of the poor, # Job 29:16; Ps 41:1
but the wicked do not understand such knowledge.
8Mockers set a city aflame,
but the wise turn away wrath. # Pr 11:11
9If a wise man contends with a fool,
the fool rages and laughs, and there is no rest.
10The bloodthirsty hate a man of integrity, # Ge 4:5–8
and the life of the upright.
11A fool utters all his anger,
but a wise man restrains it. # Pr 12:16; 14:33
12If a ruler listens to lies,
all his officials will be wicked.
13The poor and the oppressor have this in common:
The Lord gives light to the eyes of both. # Ps 13:3; Pr 22:2
14If a king truthfully judges the poor,
his throne will be established forever. # Ps 72:2–4; Pr 16:12
15The rod and reproof give wisdom,
but a child left to himself disgraces his mother. # Pr 10:1; 17:25
16When the wicked are multiplied, transgression increases,
but the righteous will see their downfall. # Ps 37:36; 58:10
17Correct your son, and he will give you rest; # Pr 13:24; 29:15
he will give delight to your soul.
18Where there is no vision, the people perish, # 1Sa 3:1
but blessed is he who keeps the law. # Jn 13:17
19A servant will not be corrected by words,
for though he understands, he will not respond.
20Do you see a man who is hasty in his words?
There is more hope for a fool than for him. # Pr 26:12; Jas 1:19
21He who pampers his servant from youth
will have him as his son in the end.
22An angry man stirs up strife,
and a temperamental man abounds in transgression. # Pr 15:18; 17:19; 26:21
23The pride of man will bring him low,
but the humble in spirit will attain honor. # Pr 15:33; Mt 23:12
24He who is a partner with a thief hates his own soul; # Pr 8:36
he vows to tell the truth, but discloses nothing. # Lev 5:1
25The fear of man brings a snare, # Ge 20:2, 11
but he who trusts in the Lord will be safe.
26Many seek the favor of a ruler, # Pr 19:6
but justice for man comes from the Lord. # Ps 20:9
27An unjust man is an abomination to the righteous,
but he whose way is upright is an abomination to the wicked. # Ps 139:21; Jas 4:4; 1Jn 3:13
