Proverbs 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!
