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. |
