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 uphold 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.
