Proverbs 29

1He, that being often reproved hardeneth neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy. 2When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn. 3Whoso loveth wisdom rejoiceth his father: but he that keepeth company with harlots spendeth substance. 4The king by judgment establisheth the land: but he that receiveth gifts overthroweth it. 5A man that flattereth his neighbour spreadeth a net for his feet. 6In the transgression of an evil man a snare: but the righteous does sing and rejoice. 7The righteous considereth the cause of the poor: the wicked regardeth not to know . 8Scornful men bring a city into a snare: but wise turn away wrath. 9a wise man contendeth with a foolish man, whether he rage or laugh, no rest. 10The bloodthirsty hate the upright: but the just seek his soul. 11A fool uttereth all his mind: but a wise keepeth it in till afterwards. 12If a ruler hearken to lies, all his servants wicked. 13The poor and the deceitful man meet together: the Yahuah lighteneth both their eyes. 14The king that faithfully judgeth the poor, his throne shall be established for ever. 15The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left bringeth his mother to shame. 16When the wicked are multiplied, transgression increaseth: but the righteous shall see their fall. 17Correct your son, and he shall give you rest; yes, he shall give delight unto your soul. 18Where no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy he. 19A servant will not be corrected by words: for though he understand he will not answer. 20Seest you a man hasty in his words? more hope of a fool than of him. 21He that delicately bringeth up his servant from a child shall have him become son at the length. 22An angry man stirreth up strife, and a furious man aboundeth in transgression. 23A man's pride shall bring him low: but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit. 24Whoso is partner with a thief hateth his own soul: he heareth cursing, and bewrayeth not. 25The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the Yahuah shall be safe. 26Many seek the ruler's favour; but man's judgment from the Yahuah. 27An unjust man an abomination to the just: and upright in the way abomination to the wicked.
