Proverbs 29

American Standard Version (1901). Public domain.

He^H376 that being often reproved^H8433 hardeneth^H7185 his neck^H6203 Shall suddenly^H6621 be destroyed^H7665, and that without remedy^H4832. When the righteous^H6662 are increased^H7235, the people^H5971 rejoice^H8055; But when a wicked^H7563 man beareth rule^H4910, the people^H5971 sigh^H584. Whoso^H376 loveth^H157 wisdom^H2451 rejoiceth^H8055 his father^H1; But he that keepeth company^H7462 with harlots^H2181 wasteth^H6 his substance^H1952. The king^H4428 by justice^H4941 establisheth^H5975 the land^H776; But he^H376 that exacteth gifts^H8641 overthroweth^H2040 it. A man^H1397 that flattereth^H2505 his neighbor^H7453 Spreadeth^H6566 a net^H7568 for his steps^H6471. In the transgression^H6588 of an evil^H7451 man^H376 there is a snare^H4170; But the righteous^H6662 doth sing^H7442 and rejoice^H8056. The righteous^H6662 taketh^H3045 knowledge of the cause^H1779 of the poor^H1800; The wicked^H7563 hath not understanding^H995 to know^H1847 it. Scoffers^H3944 set^H6315 a city^H7151 in a flame^H6315; But wise^H2450 men turn away^H7725 wrath^H639. If a wise^H2450 man^H376 hath a controversy^H8199 with a foolish^H191 man^H376, Whether he be angry^H7264 or laugh^H7832, there will be no rest^H5183. The bloodthirsty^H582 hate^H8130 him that is perfect^H8535; And as for the upright^H3477, they seek^H1245 his life^H5315. A fool^H3684 uttereth^H3318 all his anger^H7307; But a wise^H2450 man keepeth^H7623 it back and stilleth^H268 it. If a ruler^H4910 hearkeneth^H7181 to falsehood^H1697, All his servants^H8334 are wicked^H7563. The poor^H7326 man^H376 and the oppressor^H8501 meet together^H6298; Jehovah^H3068 lighteneth^H215 the eyes^H5869 of them both^H8147. The king^H4428 that faithfully^H571 judgeth^H8199 the poor^H1800, His throne^H3678 shall be established^H3559 for ever^H5703. The rod^H7626 and reproof^H8433 give^H5414 wisdom^H2451; But a child^H5288 left^H7971 to himself causeth shame^H954 to his mother^H517. When the wicked^H7563 are increased^H7235, transgression^H6588 increaseth^H7235; But the righteous^H6662 shall look^H7200 upon their fall^H4658. Correct^H3256 thy son^H1121, and he will give thee rest^H5117; Yea, he will give^H5414 delight^H4574 unto thy soul^H5315. Where there is no vision^H2377, the people^H5971 cast off restraint^H6544; But he that keepeth^H8104 the law^H8451, happy^H835 is he. A servant^H5650 will not be corrected^H3256 by words^H1697; For though he understand^H995, he will not give heed^H4617. Seest^H2372 thou a man^H376 that is hasty^H213 in his words^H1697? There is more hope^H8615 of a fool^H3684 than of him. He that delicately bringeth up^H6445 his servant^H5650 from a child^H5290 Shall have him become a son^H4497 at the last^H319. An angry^H639 man^H376 stirreth up^H1624 strife^H4066, And a wrathful^H2534 man^H1167 aboundeth in^H7227 transgression^H6588. A man's^H120 pride^H1346 shall bring him low^H8213; But he that is of a lowly^H8217 spirit^H7307 shall obtain^H8551 honor^H3519. Whoso is partner^H2505 with a thief^H1590 hateth^H8130 his own soul^H5315; He heareth^H8085 the adjuration^H423 and uttereth^H5046 nothing. The fear^H2731 of man^H120 bringeth^H5414 a snare^H4170; But whoso putteth his trust^H982 in Jehovah^H3068 shall be safe^H7682. Many^H7227 seek^H1245 the ruler's^H4910 favor^H6440; But a man's^H376 judgment^H4941 cometh from Jehovah^H3068. An unjust^H5766 man^H376 is an abomination^H8441 to the righteous^H6662; And he that is upright^H3477 in the way^H1870 is an abomination^H8441 to the wicked^H7563.
