Chapter 29 He that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be
destroyed, and that without remedy.
When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice, but when the wicked
beareth rule, the people mourn.
Whoso loveth wisdom rejoiceth his father, but he that keepeth company with harlots
spendeth his substance.
The king by judgment establisheth the land, but he that receiveth gifts
overthroweth it.
A man that flattereth his neighbor spreadeth a net for his feet.
In the transgression of an evil man there is a snare, but the righteous doth sing
and rejoice.
The righteous considereth the cause of the poor, but the wicked regardeth not to know
it.
Scornful men bring a city into a snare, but wise men turn away wrath.
If a wise man contendeth with a foolish man, whether he rage or laugh,
there is no rest.
The bloodthirsty hate the upright, but the just seek his soul.
A fool uttereth all his mind, but a wise man keepeth it in till afterwards.
If a ruler hearken to lies, all his servants are wicked.
The poor and the deceitful man meet together, the Lord lightneth both their
eyes.
The king that faithfully judgeth the poor, his throne shall be established forever.
The rod and reproof give wisdom, but a child left to himself bringeth his
mother to shame.
When the wicked are multiplied, transgression increaseth, but the
righteous shall see their fall.
Correct thy son, and he shall give thee rest, yea, he shall give the light unto
thy soul.
Where there is no vision, the people perish, but he that keepeth the law,
happy is he.
A servant will not be corrected by words, for though he understand, he will not
answer.
Seest thou a man that is hasty in his words?
There is more hope of a fool than of him.
He that delicately bringeth up his servant from a child shall have him become his son
at the length.
An angry man stirreth up strife, and a furious man aboundeth in
transgression.
A man's pride shall bring him low, but honor shall uphold the humble in
spirit.
Whoso is partner with a thief, hateth his own soul.
He heareth cursing, and bereth it not.
The fear of man bringeth a snare, but whoso putteth his trust in the Lord
shall be safe.
Many seek the ruler's favor, but every man's judgment cometh from the Lord.
An unjust man is an abomination to the just, and he that is upright in the way is
abomination to the wicked.
