Proverbs 29 (King James Version)
1
He,a 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 heb 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 bringc 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 bloodthirstyd 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 deceitfule 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 :f 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 .g
26
Many seek the ruler'sh 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.
