engLXXup: Proverbs 29

=> Chapters

[1] A reprover is better than a stiff-necked man:

For when the latter is suddenly set on fire, there shall be no remedy.

[2] When the righteous are praised, the people will rejoice:

But when the ungodly rule, men mourn.

[3] When a man loves wisdom, his father rejoices:

But he that keeps harlots will waste wealth.

[4] A righteous king establishes a country:

But a transgressor destroys it.

[5] He that prepares a net in the way of his own friend,

Entangles his own feet in it.

[6] A great snare is spread for a sinner:

But the righteous shall be in joy and gladness.

[7] A righteous man knows how to judge for the poor:

But the ungodly understands not knowledge;

And the poor man has not an understanding mind.

[8] Lawless men burn down a city:

But wise men turn away wrath.

[9] A wise man shall judge nations:

But a worthless man being angry laughs and fears not.

[10] Bloody men hate a holy person,

But the upright will seek his soul.

[11] A fool utters all his mind:

But the wise reserves his in part.

[12] When a king hearkens to unjust language,

All his subjects are transgressors.

[13] When the creditor and debtor meet together,

The Lord oversees them both.

[14] When a king judges the poor in truth,

His throne shall be established for a testimony.

[15] Stripes and reproofs give wisdom:

But an erring child disgraces his parents.

[16] When the ungodly abound, sins abound:

But when they fall, the righteous are warned.

[17] Chasten thy son, and he shall give thee rest;

And he shall give honor to thy soul.

[18] There shall be no interpreter to a sinful nation:

But he that observes the law is blessed.

[19] A stubborn servant will not be reproved by words:

For even if he understand, still he will not obey.

[20] If thou see a man hasty in his words,

Know that the fool has hope rather than he.

[21] He that lives wantonly from a child, shall be a servant,

And in the end shall grieve over himself.

[22] A furious man stirs up strife,

And a passionate man digs up sin.

[23] Pride brings a man low,

But the Lord upholds the humble minded with honor.

[24] He that shares with a thief, hates his own soul:

And if any having heard an oath uttered tell not of it,

[25] They fearing and reverencing men unreasonably have been overthrown,

But he that trusts in the Lord shall rejoice.

Ungodliness causes a man to stumble:

But he that trusts in his master shall be safe.

[26] Many wait on the favor of rulers;

But justice comes to a man from the Lord.

[27] A righteous man is an abomination to an unrighteous man,

And the direct way is an abomination to the sinner.
