Proverbs 29

CHAPTER 29 Yielding upon The LORD

1 Better a man of reproofs, than a man hard-necked; for suddenly [³blazing up ⁴for him ¹there is no ²healing]. 2 In the lauding of the just [²will be glad ¹peoples]; [⁴the rule ¹but ⁵of the impious ³moan over ²men]. 3 A man fond of wisdom gladdens his father; but the one tending harlots destroys wealth. 4 [²king ¹A just] establishes regions; [³man ¹but ²a lawbreaking] razes them. 5 The one who makes preparations [²against ³the person ⁴of his own ⁵friend ¹with a net] puts it around his own feet. 6 [⁴sinning ³against a man ¹A great ²snare is set]; but the just [²in ³joy ⁴and ⁵in ⁶gladness ¹will be]. 7 [²has knowledge ¹A just man] to judge for the destitute; but the impious do not comprehend knowledge; and to the poor there does not exist the mind of an arbitrator. 8 [²men ¹Mischievous] burn away a city; but wise men turn away anger. 9 [²man ¹A wise] judges nations; [³man ¹but ²a heedless], in provoking to anger, ridicules and is not struck with awe. 10 Men [²in blood ¹being partners] shall detest the sacred; but the upright will seek after his soul. 11 [⁵entire ⁶rage ⁴his ³brings forth ¹The ²fool]; but the wise stores his up in part. 12 A king hearkening [²matter ¹in an unjust] makes all the ones under him lawbreakers. 13 A money-lender and debtor, when one another come together [⁴to oversee ³commits ⁵both ¹the ² lord]. 14 A king [³in ⁴truth ¹judging ²the poor], his throne [²for ³a good testimony ¹shall be established]. 15 Strokes and reproofs give wisdom; but a child wandering shames his parents. 16 [²of many ¹With the being] impious, many [²take place ¹sins]; but with the just, at the falling of those, fear takes place. 17 Correct your son, and he will cause you rest, and he will give a decoration to your soul. 18 In no way should there exist an expositor [²nation ¹to a lawbreaking]; but the one keeping the law is most blessed. 19 [⁵by words ³will not be ⁴corrected ²domestic servant ¹A recalcitrant]; for even if he comprehends he will not obey. 20 If you should behold a man hasty in words, know that [⁴hope ³has ⁵rather than ¹the ²fool] he! 21 The one who lives wastefully from child hood will be a domestic servant; and at the end will grieve over himself. 22 A man inclined to rage digs up altercation; and a man prone to anger gouges up sin. 23 Insolence [²a man ¹abases]; but the [³the humble-minded ²establishes ⁴in glory ¹ lord]. 24 The one who shares with a thief detests his own soul. And if an oath having been set before ones hearing, but they should not announce it, 25 they, fearing and shaming men, shall be tripped up; but the one yielding upon the lord shall be glad. Impiety in man makes a man trip; but the one yielding unto the master shall be preserved. 26 Many attend to the persons of leaders; but by the lord [²happens ¹justice] to a man. 27 [³is an abomination ¹A just ²man ⁵man ⁴to an unjust]; and an abomination to the lawless one is a straight way.
