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!

Mishlĕ (Proverbs) 29
29
1One often reproved, hardening his neck, Is suddenly broken, and there is no healing.
2When the righteous increase, the people rejoice; But when a wrong one rules, the people sigh.
3He who loves wisdom gladdens his father, But a companion of whores destroys wealth.
4A sovereign establishes a land by right-ruling, But one who receives bribes throws it down.
5A man who flatters his neighbour Spreads a net for his own feet.
6An evil man is ensnared by transgression, But the righteous sings and rejoices.
7The righteous knows the plea of the poor, The wrong does not understand such knowledge.
8Scoffers ensnare a city, But the wise turn away wrath.
9When a wise man disputes with a foolish man, Whether he rages or laughs, there is no peace.
10Bloodthirsty men hate the perfect, And seek the life of the straight.
11A fool lets out all his breath, But the wise keeping it back calms it down.
12If a ruler listens to lying words, All his servants become wrong.
13The poor man and the oppressor have this in common: יהוה gives light to the eyes of both.
14The sovereign who rightly rules the poor with truth, His throne is established forever.
15A rod and reproof give wisdom, But a child unrestrained brings shame to his mother.
16When the wrong become many, transgression increases; But the righteous look on their fall.
17Discipline your son, And he brings you rest and delight to your life.
18Where there is no vision, the people are let loose, But blessed is he who guards the Torah.
19A servant is not disciplined by words; Though he understands, he does not respond.
20Have you seen a man hasty in his words? There is more expectancy for a fool than for him.
21He who deals tenderly With his servant from youth, Has him as a son in the end.
22A man of displeasure stirs up strife, And a master of rage has many a transgression.
23The pride of man brings him low, But the humble in spirit obtains esteem.
24He who shares with a thief hates his own life; He hears an oath, but does not report.
25The fear of man brings a snare, But whoever trusts in יהוה is set on high.
26Many seek the face of a ruler, But right-ruling for man comes from יהוה.
27An unrighteous man Is an abomination to the righteous, And he who is straight in the way Is an abomination to the wrong.
