# ***PROVERBS 29***

---

\[1\] He who is often reproved, yet stiffens his neck,

will suddenly be broken beyond healing.

\[2\] When the righteous increase, the people rejoice,

but when the wicked rule, the people groan.

\[3\] He who loves wisdom makes his father glad,

but a companion of prostitutes squanders his wealth.

\[4\] By justice a king builds up the land,

but he who exacts gifts tears it down.

\[5\] A man who flatters his neighbor

spreads a net for his feet.

\[6\] An evil man is ensnared in his transgression,

but a righteous man sings and rejoices.

\[7\] A righteous man knows the rights of the poor;

a wicked man does not understand such knowledge.

\[8\] Scoffers set a city aflame,

but the wise turn away wrath.

\[9\] If a wise man has an argument with a fool,

the fool only rages and laughs, and there is no quiet.

\[10\] Bloodthirsty men hate one who is blameless

and seek the life of the upright.

\[11\] A fool gives full vent to his spirit,

but a wise man quietly holds it back.

\[12\] If a ruler listens to falsehood,

all his officials will be wicked.

\[13\] The poor man and the oppressor meet together;

the LORD gives light to the eyes of both.

\[14\] If a king faithfully judges the poor,

his throne will be established forever.

\[15\] The rod and reproof give wisdom,

but a child left to himself brings shame to his mother.

\[16\] When the wicked increase, transgression increases,

but the righteous will look upon their downfall.

\[17\] Discipline your son, and he will give you rest;

he will give delight to your heart.

\[18\] Where there is no prophetic vision the people cast off restraint,

but blessed is he who keeps the law.

\[19\] By mere words a servant is not disciplined,

for though he understands, he will not respond.

\[20\] Do you see a man who is hasty in his words?

There is more hope for a fool than for him.

\[21\] Whoever pampers his servant from childhood

will in the end find him his heir.

\[22\] A man of wrath stirs up strife,

and one given to anger causes much transgression.

\[23\] One’s pride will bring him low,

but he who is lowly in spirit will obtain honor.

\[24\] The partner of a thief hates his own life;

he hears the curse, but discloses nothing.

\[25\] The fear of man lays a snare,

but whoever trusts in the LORD is safe.

\[26\] Many seek the face of a ruler,

but it is from the LORD that a man gets justice.

\[27\] An unjust man is an abomination to the righteous,

but one whose way is straight is an abomination to the wicked. (ESV)
