Proverbs 29:1-11

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

11 totum spiritum suum profert stultus sapiens differt et reservat in posterum
