The Book of Proverbs 29

29 A man of rebukes who stiffens the neck

will suddenly be broken and without healing.

2 When the righteous ones increase, the people rejoice,

but when a wicked one rules, a people groans.

3 A man who loves wisdom gladdens his father,

but one who associates with prostitutes destroys wealth.

4 A king by justice causes the land to stand,

but a man of contributions tears it down.

5 A man who makes smooth for his neighbor

spreads out a net for his feet.

6 In the transgression of an evil man there is a snare,

but a righteous one shouts for joy and is glad.

7 A righteous one knows the legal claim of lowly ones;

a wicked one does not understand knowledge.

8 Men of mockery inflame a city,

but wise ones turn away nose.

9 A wise man goes to judgment with a foolish man,

but he trembles and laughs and there is no rest.

10 Men of bloodshed hate a blameless one,

but upright ones seek his life.

11 A stupid one brings out all his spirit,

but a wise one soothes it backward.

12 A ruler who listens attentively to a word of falsehood,

all his servants are wicked ones.

13 One who is poor and a man of oppression meet together;

the one who enlightens the eyes of them both is Yahweh.

14 A king who judges lowly ones with truth,

his throne will be established to perpetuity.

15 A rod and rebuke give wisdom

but a boy who is sent away causes his mother shame.

16 When wicked ones increase, transgression increases,

but righteous ones will look at their downfall.

17 Discipline your son and he will cause you to rest,

and he will give delights to your soul.

18 When there is no vision, the people are let loose,

but one who keeps the law, happy is he.

19 A servant will not be instructed by words,

for he understands but there is no answer.

20 You see a man hurrying in his words.

There is more hope for a stupid one than him.

21 If one pampers his servant from youth,

then his end will be insolence.

22 A man of nose stirs up strife,

and an owner of heat, much transgression.

23 The pride of a man will make him low,

but one lowly of spirit will grasp honor.

24 One who shares with a thief hates his life;

he will hear an oath but will not tell.

25 The anxiety of a man sets a snare,

but the one who trusts in Yahweh will be set on high.

26 Many are those who seek the face of a ruler,

but from Yahweh is justice of a man.

27 An abomination to righteous ones is a man of injustice,

but an abomination to a wicked one is one upright of way.
