| # Chapter 29
#### 1 | The man that with a stiff neck despiseth him that reproveth him, shall suddenly be destroyed: and health shall not follow him.
#### 2 | When just men increase, the people shall rejoice: when the wicked shall bear rule, the people shall mourn.
#### 3 | A man that loveth wisdom, rejoiceth his father: but he that maintaineth bar lots, shall squander away his substance.
#### 4 | A just king setteth up the land: a covetous man shall destroy it.
#### 5 | A man that speaketh to his friend with flattering and dissembling words, spreadeth a net for his feet.
#### 6 | A snare shall entangle the wicked man when he sinneth: and the just shall praise and rejoice.
#### 7 | The just taketh notice of the cause of the poor: the wicked is void of knowledge.
#### 8 | Corrupt men bring a city to ruin: but wise men turn away wrath.
#### 9 | If a wise man contend with a fool, whether he be angry or laugh, he shall find no rest.
#### 10 | Bloodthirsty men hate the upright: but just men seek his soul.
#### 11 | A fool uttereth all his mind: a wise man deferreth, and keepeth it till afterwards.
#### 12 | A prince that gladly heareth lying words, hath all his servants wicked.
#### 13 | The poor man and the creditor have met one another: the Lord is the enlightener of them both.
#### 14 | The king that judgeth the poor in truth, his throne shall be established for ever.
#### 15 | The rod and reproof give wisdom: but the child that is left to his own will bringeth his mother to shame.
#### 16 | When the wicked are multiplied, crimes shall be multiplied: but the just shall see their downfall.
#### 17 | Instruct thy son, and he shall refresh thee, and shall give delight to thy soul.
#### 18 | When prophecy shall fail, the people shall be scattered abroad: but he that keepeth the law is blessed.
#### 19 | A slave will not be corrected by words: because he understandeth what thou sayest, and will not answer.
#### 20 | Hast thou seen a man hasty to speak? folly is rather to be looked for, than his amendment.
#### 21 | He that nourisheth his servant delicately from his childhood, afterwards shall find him stubborn.
#### 22 | A passionate man provoketh quarrels: and he that is easily stirred up to wrath, shall be more prone to sin.
#### 23 | Humiliation followeth the proud: and glory shall uphold the humble of spirit.
#### 24 | He that is partaker with a thief, hateth his own soul: he heareth one putting him to his oath, and discovereth not.
#### 25 | He that feareth man, shall quickly fall: he that trusteth in the Lord, shall be set on high.
#### 26 | Many seek the face of the prince: but the judgment of every one cometh forth from the Lord.
#### 27 | The just abhor the wicked man: and the wicked loathe them that are in the right way. The son that keepeth the word, shall be free from destruction.
