# Chapter 29
|
|
1. He who is often rebuked, and hardens his neck,
|
|
Will suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy.
|
|
|
|
2. When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice;
|
|
But when a wicked man rules, the people groan.
|
|
|
|
3. Whoever loves wisdom makes his father rejoice,
|
|
But a companion of harlots wastes his wealth.
|
|
|
|
4. The king establishes the land by justice,
|
|
But he who receives bribes overthrows it.
|
|
|
|
5. A man who flatters his neighbor
|
|
Spreads a net for his feet.
|
|
|
|
6. By transgression an evil man is snared,
|
|
But the righteous sings and rejoices.
|
|
|
|
7. The righteous considers the cause of the poor,
|
|
But the wicked does not understand such knowledge.
|
|
|
|
8. Scoffers set a city aflame,
|
|
But wise men turn away wrath.
|
|
|
|
9. If a wise man contends with a foolish man,
|
|
Whether the fool rages or laughs, there is no peace.
|
|
|
|
10. The bloodthirsty hate the blameless,
|
|
But the upright seek his well-being.
|
|
|
|
11. A fool vents all his feelings,
|
|
But a wise man holds them back.
|
|
|
|
12. If a ruler pays attention to lies,
|
|
All his servants become wicked.
|
|
|
|
13. The poor man and the oppressor have this in common:
|
|
The Lord gives light to the eyes of both.
|
|
|
|
14. The king who judges the poor with truth,
|
|
His throne will be established forever.
|
|
|
|
15. The rod and rebuke give wisdom,
|
|
But a child left to himself brings shame to his mother.
|
|
|
|
16. When the wicked are multiplied, transgression increases;
|
|
But the righteous will see their fall.
|
|
|
|
17. Correct your son, and he will give you rest;
|
|
Yes, he will give delight to your soul.
|
|
|
|
18. Where there is no revelation, the people cast off restraint;
|
|
But happy is he who keeps the law.
|
|
|
|
19. A servant will not be corrected by mere words;
|
|
For though he understands, he will not respond.
|
|
|
|
20. Do you see a man hasty in his words?
|
|
There is more hope for a fool than for him.
|
|
|
|
21. He who pampers his servant from childhood
|
|
Will have him as a son in the end.
|
|
|
|
22. An angry man stirs up strife,
|
|
And a furious man abounds in transgression.
|
|
|
|
23. A man's pride will bring him low,
|
|
But the humble in spirit will retain honor.
|
|
|
|
24. Whoever is a partner with a thief hates his own life;
|
|
He swears to tell the truth, but reveals nothing.
|
|
|
|
25. The fear of man brings a snare,
|
|
But whoever trusts in the Lord shall be safe.
|
|
|
|
26. Many seek the ruler's favor,
|
|
But justice for man comes from the Lord.
|
|
|
|
27. An unjust man is an abomination to the righteous,
|
|
And he who is upright in the way is an abomination to the wicked.
