Proverbs 29:1-10

1 viro qui corripientem dura cervice contemnit repentinus superveniet interitus et eum sanitas non sequitur

2 in multiplicatione iustorum laetabitur vulgus cum impii sumpserint principatum gemet populus

3 vir qui amat sapientiam laetificat patrem suum qui autem nutrit scorta perdet substantiam

4 rex iustus erigit terram vir avarus destruet eam

5 homo qui blandis fictisque sermonibus loquitur amico suo rete expandit gressibus eius

6 peccantem virum iniquum involvet laqueus et iustus laudabit atque gaudebit

7 novit iustus causam pauperum impius ignorat scientiam

8 homines pestilentes dissipant civitatem sapientes avertunt furorem

9 vir sapiens si cum stulto contenderit sive irascatur sive rideat non inveniet requiem

10 viri sanguinum oderunt simplicem iusti quaerunt animam eius
