Proverbs 29 — UBES
29Verse 1A reprover is better than a stiff-necked man:
For when the latter is suddenly set on fire, there shall be no remedy.
Verse 2When the righteous are praised, the people will rejoice:
But when the ungodly rule, men mourn.
Verse 3When a man loves wisdom, his father rejoices:
But he that keeps harlots will waste wealth.
Verse 4A righteous king establishes a country:
But a transgressor destroys it.
Verse 5He that prepares a net in the way of his own friend,
Entangles his own feet in it.
Verse 6A great snare is spread for a sinner:
But the righteous shall be in joy and gladness.
Verse 7A righteous man knows how to judge for the poor:
But the ungodly understands not knowledge;
And the poor man has not an understanding mind.Verse 8Lawless men burn down a city:
But wise men turn away wrath.
Verse 9A wise man shall judge nations:
But a worthless man being angry laughs and fears not.
Verse 10Bloody men hate a holy person,
But the upright will seek his soul.
Verse 11A fool utters all his mind:
But the wise reserves his in part.
Verse 12When a king hearkens to unjust language,
All his subjects are transgressors.
Verse 13When the creditor and debtor meet together,
The Lord oversees them both.
Verse 14When a king judges the poor in truth,
His throne shall be established for a testimony.
Verse 15Stripes and reproofs give wisdom:
But an erring child disgraces his parents.
Verse 16When the ungodly abound, sins abound:
But when they fall, the righteous are warned.Verse 17Chasten thy son, and he shall give thee rest;
And he shall give honor to thy soul.
Verse 18There shall be no interpreter to a sinful nation:
But he that observes the law is blessed.
Verse 19A stubborn servant will not be reproved by words:
For even if he understand, still he will not obey.

Know that the fool has hope rather than he.
Verse 21He that lives wantonly from a child, shall be a servant,
And in the end shall grieve over himself.
Verse 22A furious man stirs up strife,
And a passionate man digs up sin.
Verse 23Pride brings a man low,
But the Lord upholds the humble minded with honor.Verse 24He that shares with a thief, hates his own soul:
And if any having heard an oath uttered tell not of it,

But he that trusts in the Lord shall rejoice.

But he that trusts in his master shall be safe.
