Proverbs 29
29
1A man often reproved, hardening the neck, Is suddenly broken, and there is no healing.
2In the multiplying of the righteous the people rejoice, And in the ruling of the wicked the people sigh.
3A man loving wisdom rejoiceth his father, And a friend of harlots destroyeth wealth.
4A king by judgment establisheth a land, And one receiving gifts throweth it down.
5A man taking a portion above his neighbour, Spreadeth a net for his own steps.
6In the transgression of the evil [is] a snare, And the righteous doth sing and rejoice.
7The righteous knoweth the plea of the poor, The wicked understandeth not knowledge.
8Men of scorning ensnare a city, And the wise turn back anger.
9A wise man is judged by the foolish man, And he hath been angry, And he hath laughed, and there is no rest.
10Men of blood hate the perfect, And the upright seek his soul.
11A fool bringeth out all his mind, And the wise till afterwards restraineth it.
12A ruler who is attending to lying words, All his ministers [are] wicked.
13The poor and the man of frauds have met together, Jehovah is enlightening the eyes of them both.
14A king that is judging truly the poor, His throne for ever is established.
15A rod and reproof give wisdom, And a youth let away is shaming his mother.
16In the multiplying of the wicked transgression multiplieth, And the righteous on their fall do look.
17Chastise thy son, and he giveth thee comfort, Yea, he giveth delights to thy soul.
18Without a Vision is a people made naked, And whoso is keeping the law, O his happiness!
19By words a servant is not instructed though he understand, And there is nothing answering.
20Thou hast seen a man hasty in his words! More hope of a fool than of him.
21Whoso is bringing up his servant delicately, from youth, [At] his latter end also he is continuator.
22An angry man stirreth up contention, And a furious man is multiplying transgression.
23The pride of man humbleth him, And humility of spirit upholdeth honour.
24Whoso is sharing with a thief is hating his own soul, Execration he heareth, and telleth not.
25Fear of man causeth a snare, And the confident in Jehovah is set on high.
26Many are seeking the face of a ruler, And from Jehovah [is] the judgment of each.
27An abomination to the righteous [is] the perverse man, And an abomination to the wicked [is] the upright in the way!

Proverbs 29
29
1He, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck,
Shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy.
2When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice:
But when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.
3Whoso loveth wisdom rejoiceth his father:
But he that keepeth company with harlots spendeth his substance.
4The king by judgment establisheth the land:
But he that receiveth gifts overthroweth it.
5A man that flattereth his neighbour
Spreadeth a net for his feet.
6In the transgression of an evil man there is a snare:
But the righteous doth sing and rejoice.
7The righteous considereth the cause of the poor:
But the wicked regardeth not to know it.
8Scornful 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.
10The bloodthirsty hate the upright:
But the just seek his soul.
11A fool uttereth all his mind:
But a wise man keepeth it in till afterwards.
12If a ruler hearken to lies,
All his servants are wicked.
13The poor and the deceitful man meet together:
The LORD lighteneth both their eyes.
14The king that faithfully judgeth the poor,
His throne shall be established for ever.
15The rod and reproof give wisdom:
But a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame.
16When the wicked are multiplied, transgression increaseth:
But the righteous shall see their fall.
17Correct thy son, and he shall give thee rest;
Yea, he shall give delight unto thy soul.
18Where there is no vision, the people perish:
But he that keepeth the law, happy is he.
19A servant will not be corrected by words:
For though he understand he will not answer.
20Seest thou a man that is hasty in his words?
There is more hope of a fool than of him.
21He that delicately bringeth up his servant from a child
Shall have him become his son at the length.
22An angry man stirreth up strife,
And a furious man aboundeth in transgression.
23A man's pride shall bring him low:
But honour shall uphold the humble in spirit.
24Whoso is partner with a thief hateth his own soul:
He heareth cursing, and bewrayeth it not.
25The fear of man bringeth a snare:
But whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe.
26Many seek the ruler's favour;
But every man's judgment cometh from the LORD.
27An unjust man is an abomination to the just:
And he that is upright in the way is abomination to the wicked.
