Proverbs chapter 29 tag:brojed.org/cms,2026-04-04:20260404 2026-04-04T03:28:36+00:00 tag:brojed.org/cms,2026-04-04:20260404 2026-04-04T03:28:36+00:00

A man who hardens his neck when reproved shall be suddenly broken, and there will be no healing. When the righteous multiply, the people rejoice; but when the wicked rule, the people groan. Whoever loves wisdom causes his father to rejoice; but a companion of harlots wastes wealth. The king establishes the land by justice; but he who receives bribes tears it down. A man who flatters his neighbor spreads a net for his feet. In the transgression of an evil man there is a snare; but the righteous shouts and rejoices. The righteous considers the plea of the poor, but the wicked has no discernment to know it. Scornful men blast and inflame a city, but the wise turn away anger. If a wise man contends with a foolish man, whether he rages or laughs, there is no rest. Men of blood hate the perfect; but the upright seek the security of his soul. A fool vents all his emotions; but a wise one keeps still until afterwards. If a ruler pays attention to lies, all his servants are wicked. The poor and the oppressor have this in common; Jehovah gives light to the eyes of both. A king who judges the lowly in truth, his throne shall be established continually. The rod and rebuke give wisdom, but a lad set loose brings shame to his mother. When the wicked become numerous, transgression increases; but the righteous shall see their fall. Correct your son, and he will give you rest; yea, he shall give delight to your soul. Where there is no vision, the people are unrestrained; but he who keeps the Law is blessed. A servant will not be corrected by words, for though he understands, he will not respond. Do you see a man hasty in his words? There is more hope for a fool than for him. He who pampers his servant from youth, that one in the end shall be as his progeny. An angry man stirs up strife, and a furious man abounds in transgression. A man's pride shall bring him low; but honor shall uphold the humble in spirit. He who shares with a thief hates his own soul; he hears the oath, but does not confess. The fear of man brings a snare, but whoever puts his trust in Jehovah shall be exalted. Many seek the ruler's favor, but man's justice comes from Jehovah. An unjust man is an abomination to the just; and he who is upright in the way is an abomination to the wicked.
