Proverbs 29

¹He that being often reproved hardeneth his neck

²When the righteous are increased, the people rejoice;

³Whoso loveth wisdom rejoiceth his father;

⁴The king by justice establisheth the land;

⁵A man that flattereth his neighbor

⁶In the transgression of an evil man there is a snare;

⁷The righteous taketh knowledge of the cause of the poor;

⁸Scoffers set a city in a flame;

⁹If a wise man hath a controversy with a foolish man,

¹⁰The bloodthirsty hate him that is perfect;

¹¹A fool uttereth all his anger;

¹²If a ruler hearkeneth to falsehood,

¹³The poor man and the oppressor meet together;

¹⁴The king that faithfully judgeth the poor,

¹⁵The rod and reproof give wisdom;

¹⁶When the wicked are increased, transgression increaseth;

¹⁷Correct thy son, and he will give thee rest;

¹⁸Where there is no vision, the people cast off restraint;

¹⁹A servant will not be corrected by words;

²⁰Seest thou a man that is hasty in his words?

²¹He that delicately bringeth up his servant from a child

²²An angry man stirreth up strife,

²³A man’s pride shall bring him low;

²⁴Whoso is partner with a thief hateth his own soul;

²⁵The fear of man bringeth a snare;

²⁶Many seek the ruler’s favor;

²⁷An unjust man is an abomination to the righteous;
