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