ASVs · chapter 29
1 H eH376 that being often reprovedH8433 hardenethH7185 his neckH6203 Shall suddenlyH6621 be destroyed,H7665 and that without remedy.H4832
2 When the righteousH6662 are increased,H7235 the peopleH5971 rejoice;H8055 But when a wickedH7563 man beareth rule,H4910 the peopleH5971 sigh.H584
3 WhosoH376 lovethH157 wisdomH2451 rejoicethH8055 his father;H1 But he that keepeth companyH7462 with harlotsH2181 wastethH6 [his] substance.H1952
4 The kingH4428 by justiceH4941 establishethH5975 the land;H776 But heH376 that exacteth giftsH8641 overthrowethH2040 it.
5 A manH1397 that flatterethH2505 his neighborH7453 SpreadethH6566 a netH7568 for his steps.H6471
6 In the transgressionH6588 of an evilH7451 manH376 there is a snare;H4170 But the righteousH6662 doth singH7442 and rejoice.H8056
7 The righteousH6662 takethH3045 knowledge of the causeH1779 of the poor;H1800 The wickedH7563 hath not understandingH995 to knowH1847 [it].
8 ScoffersH3944 H582 setH6315 a cityH7151 in a flame;H6315 But wiseH2450 men turn awayH7725 wrath.H639
9 If a wiseH2450 manH376 hath a controversyH8199 with a foolishH191 man,H376 Whether he be angryH7264 or laugh,H7832 there will be no rest.H5183
10 The bloodthirstyH582 hateH8130 him that is perfect;H8535 And as for the upright,H3477 they seekH1245 his life.H5315
11 A foolH3684 utterethH3318 all his anger;H7307 But a wiseH2450 man keepethH7623 it back and stillethH268 it.
12 If a rulerH4910 hearkenethH7181 to falsehood,H1697 All his servantsH8334 are wicked.H7563
13 The poorH7326 manH376 and the oppressorH8501 meet together;H6298 JehovahH3068 lightenethH215 the eyesH5869 of them both.H8147
14 The kingH4428 that faithfullyH571 judgethH8199 the poor,H1800 His throneH3678 shall be establishedH3559 for ever.H5703
15 The rodH7626 and reproofH8433 giveH5414 wisdom;H2451 But a childH5288 leftH7971 to himself causeth shameH954 to his mother.H517
16 When the wickedH7563 are increased,H7235 transgressionH6588 increaseth;H7235 But the righteousH6662 shall lookH7200 upon their fall.H4658
17 CorrectH3256 thy son,H1121 and he will give thee rest;H5117 Yea, he will giveH5414 delightH4574 unto thy soul.H5315
18 Where there is no vision,H2377 the peopleH5971 cast off restraint;H6544 But he that keepethH8104 the law,H8451 happyH835 is he.
19 A servantH5650 will not be correctedH3256 by words;H1697 For though he understand,H995 he will not give heed.H4617
20 SeestH2372 thou a manH376 that is hastyH213 in his words?H1697 There is more hopeH8615 of a foolH3684 than of him.
21 He that delicately bringeth upH6445 his servantH5650 from a childH5290 Shall have him become a sonH4497 at the last.H319
22 An angryH639 manH376 stirreth upH1624 strife,H4066 And a wrathfulH2534 manH1167 aboundeth inH7227 transgression.H6588
23 A man'sH120 prideH1346 shall bring him low;H8213 But he that is of a lowlyH8217 spiritH7307 shall obtainH8551 honor.H3519
24 Whoso is partnerH2505 with a thiefH1590 hatethH8130 his own soul;H5315 He hearethH8085 the adjurationH423 and utterethH5046 nothing.
25 The fearH2731 of manH120 bringethH5414 a snare;H4170 But whoso putteth his trustH982 in JehovahH3068 shall be safe.H7682
26 ManyH7227 seekH1245 the ruler'sH4910 favor;H6440 But a man'sH376 judgmentH4941 [cometh] from Jehovah.H3068
27 An unjustH5766 manH376 is an abominationH8441 to the righteous;H6662 And he that is uprightH3477 in the wayH1870 is an abominationH8441 to the wicked.H7563
