Proverbs 29 (KJV)

He, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, Shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy.

When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: But when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.

Whoso loveth wisdom rejoiceth his father: But he that keepeth company with harlots spendeth his substance.

The king by judgment establisheth the land: But he that receiveth gifts overthroweth it.

A man that flattereth his neighbour Spreadeth a net for his feet.

In the transgression of an evil man there is a snare: But the righteous doth sing and rejoice.

The righteous considereth the cause of the poor: But the wicked regardeth not to know it .

Scornful men bring a city into a snare: But wise men turn away wrath.

If a wise man contendeth with a foolish man, Whether he rage or laugh, there is no rest.

The bloodthirsty hate the upright: But the just seek his soul.

A fool uttereth all his mind: But a wise man keepeth it in till afterwards.

If a ruler hearken to lies, All his servants are wicked.

The poor and the deceitful man meet together: The LORD lighteneth both their eyes.

The king that faithfully judgeth the poor, His throne shall be established for ever.

The rod and reproof give wisdom: But a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame.

When the wicked are multiplied, transgression increaseth: But the righteous shall see their fall.

Correct thy son, and he shall give thee rest; Yea, he shall give delight unto thy soul.

Where there is no vision, the people perish: But he that keepeth the law, happy is he.

A servant will not be corrected by words: For though he understand he will not answer.

Seest thou a man that is hasty in his words? There is more hope of a fool than of him.

He that delicately bringeth up his servant from a child Shall have him become his son at the length.

An angry man stirreth up strife, And a furious man aboundeth in transgression.

A man's pride shall bring him low: But honour shall uphold the humble in spirit.

Whoso is partner with a thief hateth his own soul: He heareth cursing, and bewrayeth it not.

The fear of man bringeth a snare: But whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe.

Many seek the ruler's favour; But every man's judgment cometh from the LORD .

An unjust man is an abomination to the just: And he that is upright in the way is abomination to the wicked.
