Proverbs 29

^{Tools
1} A man often reproved, hardening the neck, Is suddenly broken, and there is no healing.

^{Tools
2} In the multiplying of the righteous the people rejoice, And in the ruling of the wicked the people sigh.

^{Tools
3} A man loving wisdom rejoiceth his father, And a friend of harlots destroyeth wealth.

^{Tools
4} A king by judgment establisheth a land, And one receiving gifts throweth it down.

^{Tools
5} A man taking a portion above his neighbour, Spreadeth a net for his own steps.

^{Tools
6} In the transgression of the evil is a snare, And the righteous doth sing and rejoice.

^{Tools
7} The righteous knoweth the plea of the poor, The wicked understandeth not knowledge.

^{Tools
8} Men of scorning ensnare a city, And the wise turn back anger.

^{Tools
9} A wise man is judged by the foolish man, And he hath been angry, And he hath laughed, and there is no rest.

^{Tools
10} Men of blood hate the perfect, And the upright seek his soul.

^{Tools
11} A fool bringeth out all his mind, And the wise till afterwards restraineth it.

^{Tools
12} A ruler who is attending to lying words, All his ministers are wicked.

^{Tools
13} The poor and the man of frauds have met together, Jehovah is enlightening the eyes of them both.

^{Tools
14} a king that is judging truly the poor, His throne for ever is established.

^{Tools
15} A rod and reproof give wisdom, And a youth let away is shaming his mother.

^{Tools
16} In the multiplying of the wicked transgression multiplieth, And the righteous on their fall do look.

^{Tools
17} Chastise thy son, and he giveth thee comfort, Yea, he giveth delights to thy soul.

18} Without a Vision is a people made naked, And whoso is keeping the law, O his happiness!

^{Tools
19} By words a servant is not instructed though he understand, And there is nothing answering.

^{Tools
20} Thou hast seen a man hasty in his words! More hope of a fool than of him.

^{Tools
21} Whoso is bringing up his servant delicately, from youth, At his latter end also he is continuator.

^{Tools
22} An angry man stirreth up contention, And a furious man is multiplying transgression.

^{Tools
23} The pride of man humbleth him, And humility of spirit upholdeth honour.

^{Tools
24} Whoso is sharing with a thief is hating his own soul, Execration he heareth, and telleth not.

^{Tools
25} Fear of man causeth a snare, And the confident in Jehovah is set on high.

^{Tools
26} Many are seeking the face of a ruler, And from Jehovah is the judgment of each.

^{Tools
27} An abomination to the righteous is the perverse man, And an abomination to the wicked is the upright in the way!
