Proverbs 29

Take note of these:

Proverbs 29:1

King James Version

29 He, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, 

shall suddenly be destroyed, 

and that without remedy.


Proverbs 29:2-14

King James Version

2 When the righteous are in authority, 

the people rejoice: 

but when the wicked beareth rule, 

the people mourn.

3 Whoso loveth wisdom rejoiceth his father: 

but he that keepeth company with harlots 

spendeth his substance.

4 The king by judgment establisheth the land: 

but he that receiveth gifts overthroweth it.

5 A man that flattereth his neighbour 

spreadeth a net for his feet.

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

but the righteous doth sing and rejoice.

7 The righteous considereth the cause of the poor: 

but the wicked regardeth not to know it.

8 Scornful men bring a city into a snare: 

but wise men turn away wrath.

9 If a wise man contendeth with a foolish man, 

whether he rage or laugh, there is no rest.

10 The bloodthirsty hate the upright: 

but the just seek his soul.

11 A fool uttereth all his mind: 

but a wise man keepeth it in till afterwards.

12 If a ruler hearken to lies, 

all his servants are wicked.

13 The poor and the deceitful man meet together: 

the Lord lighteneth both their eyes.

14 The king that faithfully judgeth the poor, 

his throne shall be established for ever.


Proverbs 29:15-17

King James Version

15 The rod and reproof give wisdom: 

but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame.

16 When the wicked are multiplied, 

transgression increaseth: 

but the righteous shall see their fall.

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

yea, he shall give delight unto thy soul.


Proverbs 29:18

King James Version

18 Where there is no vision, the people perish: 

but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.


Proverbs 29:19-24

King James Version

19 A servant will not be corrected by words: 

for though he understand he will not answer.

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

there is more hope of a fool than of him.

21 He that delicately bringeth up his servant from a child 

shall have him become his son at the length.

22 An angry man stirreth up strife, 

and a furious man aboundeth in transgression.

23 A man's pride shall bring him low: 

but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit.

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

he heareth cursing, and bewrayeth it not.


Proverbs 29:25-26

King James Version

25 The fear of man bringeth a snare: 

but whoso putteth his trust in the Lord shall be safe.

26 Many seek the ruler's favour; 

but every man's judgment cometh from the Lord.


Proverbs 29:27

King James Version

27 An unjust man is an abomination to the just: 

and he that is upright in the way 

is abomination to the wicked.
