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