Noyes - Proverbs - 29

29:1  He who, being often reproved, hardeneth his neck, Shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy.

29:2  When the righteous are powerful, the people rejoice; But when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.

29:3  He who loveth wisdom rejoiceth his father; But he who is a companion of harlots destroyeth his substance.

29:4  A king by equity establisheth a land; But he who receiveth gifts overthroweth it.

29:5  A man who flattereth his neighbor Spreadeth a net for his feet.

29:6  In the transgression of a wicked man there is a snare; But the righteous shall sing and rejoice.

29:7  A righteous man careth for the cause of the poor; A wicked man discerneth not knowledge.

29:8  Scoffers kindle a city into a flame; But wise men pacify wrath.

29:9  If a wise man contend in a cause with a fool, Whether he rage or laugh, there will be no rest.

29:10  The bloodthirsty man hateth the upright; But the righteous seek to preserve his life.

29:11  A fool letteth all his anger come out; But a wise man keepeth it back.

29:12  If a ruler listen to words of falsehood, All his servants become wicked.

29:13  The poor man and the oppressor meet together: The LORD giveth light to the eyes of them both.

29:14  The king that judgeth the poor with uprightness, His throne shall be established for ever.

29:15  The rod and reproof give wisdom; But a child left to himself bringeth shame to his mother.

29:16  When the wicked are powerful, transgression increaseth; But the righteous shall see their fall.

29:17  Chastise thy son, and he will give thee rest; Yea, he will give delight to thy soul.

29:18  Where there is no vision, the people become unruly; But he that keepeth the law, happy is he.

29:19  A servant will not be corrected by words; For, though he understand, he will not obey.

29:20  Seest thou a man hasty in his words? There is more hope of a fool than of him.

29:21  He that bringeth up his servant delicately from childhood Shall have him become a son at the last.

29:22  An angry man stirreth up strife, And a passionate man aboundeth in transgression.

29:23  A man’s pride will bring him low; But he that is of a humble spirit shall obtain honor.

29:24  He who shareth with a thief hateth himself: He heareth the curse, but maketh no discovery.

29:25  The fear of man bringeth a snare; But whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe.

29:26  Many are they who seek the ruler’s favor; But every man’s judgment cometh from the LORD.

29:27  As the unjust man is an abomination to the righteous, So the upright in his way is an abomination to the wicked.
