Proverbs 29 — YLT
29Verse 1A man often reproved, hardening the neck, Is suddenly broken, and there is no healing.Verse 2In the multiplying of the righteous the people rejoice, And in the ruling of the wicked the people sigh.Verse 3A man loving wisdom rejoiceth his father, And a friend of harlots destroyeth wealth.Verse 4A king by judgment establisheth a land, And one receiving gifts throweth it down.Verse 5A man taking a portion above his neighbour, Spreadeth a net for his own steps.Verse 6In the transgression of the evil [is] a snare, And the righteous doth sing and rejoice.Verse 7The righteous knoweth the plea of the poor, The wicked understandeth not knowledge.Verse 8Men of scorning ensnare a city, And the wise turn back anger.Verse 9A wise man is judged by the foolish man, And he hath been angry, And he hath laughed, and there is no rest.Verse 10Men of blood hate the perfect, And the upright seek his soul.Verse 11A fool bringeth out all his mind, And the wise till afterwards restraineth it.Verse 12A ruler who is attending to lying words, All his ministers [are] wicked.Verse 13The poor and the man of frauds have met together, Jehovah is enlightening the eyes of them both.Verse 14a king that is judging truly the poor, His throne for ever is established.Verse 15A rod and reproof give wisdom, And a youth let away is shaming his mother.Verse 16In the multiplying of the wicked transgression multiplieth, And the righteous on their fall do look.Verse 17Chastise thy son, and he giveth thee comfort, Yea, he giveth delights to thy soul.Verse 18Without a Vision is a people made naked, And whoso is keeping the law, O his happiness!Verse 19By words a servant is not instructed though he understand, And there is nothing answering.Verse 20Thou hast seen a man hasty in his words! More hope of a fool than of him.Verse 21Whoso is bringing up his servant delicately, from youth, [At] his latter end also he is continuator.Verse 22An angry man stirreth up contention, And a furious man is multiplying transgression.Verse 23The pride of man humbleth him, And humility of spirit upholdeth honour.Verse 24Whoso is sharing with a thief is hating his own soul, Execration he heareth, and telleth not.Verse 25Fear of man causeth a snare, And the confident in Jehovah is set on high.Verse 26Many are seeking the face of a ruler, And from Jehovah [is] the judgment of each.Verse 27An abomination to the righteous [is] the perverse man, And an abomination to the wicked [is] the upright in the way!
