[Chapter 29]
29
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.
