Proverbs 29 — American Standard Version

He that being often reproved hardeneth his neck Shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy.● When the righteous are increased, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man beareth rule, the people sigh.● Whoso loveth wisdom rejoiceth his father; But he that keepeth company with harlots wasteth `his' substance.● The king by justice establisheth the land; But he that exacteth gifts overthroweth it.● A man that flattereth his neighbor Spreadeth a net for his steps.● In the transgression of an evil man there is a snare; But the righteous doth sing and rejoice.● The righteous taketh knowledge of the cause of the poor; The wicked hath not understanding to know `it'.● Scoffers set a city in a flame; But wise men turn away wrath.● If a wise man hath a controversy with a foolish man, Whether he be angry or laugh, there will be no rest.● The bloodthirsty hate him that is perfect; And as for the upright, they seek his life.● A fool uttereth all his anger; But a wise man keepeth it back and stilleth it.● If a ruler hearkeneth to falsehood, All his servants are wicked.● The poor man and the oppressor meet together; Jehovah lighteneth the eyes of them both.● The king that faithfully judgeth the poor, His throne shall be established for ever.● The rod and reproof give wisdom; But a child left to himself causeth shame to his mother.● When the wicked are increased, transgression increaseth; But the righteous shall look upon their fall.● Correct thy son, and he will give thee rest; Yea, he will give delight unto thy soul.● Where there is no vision, the people cast off restraint; But he that keepeth the law, happy is he.● A servant will not be corrected by words; For though he understand, he will not give heed.● Seest thou a man that is hasty in his words? There is more hope of a fool than of him.● He that delicately bringeth up his servant from a child Shall have him become a son at the last.● An angry man stirreth up strife, And a wrathful man aboundeth in transgression.● A man's pride shall bring him low; But he that is of a lowly spirit shall obtain honor.● Whoso is partner with a thief hateth his own soul; He heareth the adjuration and uttereth nothing.● The fear of man bringeth a snare; But whoso putteth his trust in Jehovah shall be safe.● Many seek the ruler's favor; But a man's judgment `cometh' from Jehovah.● An unjust man is an abomination to the righteous; And he that is upright in the way is an abomination to the wicked.●
