Proverbs 29 A Man of reproofs hardening the neck, shall be suddenly broken, and no healing.

JuliaSmith⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ A Man of reproofs hardening the neck, shall be suddenly broken, and no healing. ² In the increasing of the just the people will rejoice: and in the ruling of the unjust one the people will groan. ³ A man loving wisdom will gladden his father: and he feeding harlots shall destroy riches. ⁴ A king in judgment shall establish the land: and a man of presents shall overthrow it ⁵ A man making smooth against his neighbor spreads a net for his steps. ⁶ In the transgression of an evil man is a snare: and the just one shall rejoice and be glad: ⁷ The just one knew the judgment of the poor: the unjust one will not understand knowledge. ⁸ Men of derision will kindle up a city: and the wise will turn away anger. ⁹ A wise man contending with a foolish man and raging and laughing, and no rest. ¹⁰ Men of bloods will hate the upright one: and the upright will seek his soul. ¹¹ The foolish one will bring forth all his spirit; and the wise one will restrain it back. ¹² A ruler listening to the word of falsehood, all serving him are unjust ¹³ The poor one and the man of oppressions met together: Jehovah enlightening the eyes of them both. ¹⁴ The king judging the poor in truth, his throne shall be established for a testimony. ¹⁵ The rod and reproofs will give wisdom: and the youth being left shames his mother. ¹⁶ In increasing the unjust, transion will increase: and the just all look upon their fall. ¹⁷ Correct thy son and he shall cause thee to rest, and he shall give delight to thy soul. ¹⁸ In no vision the people shall be unruly: and he watching the law, happy is he. ¹⁹ A servant will not be corrected by words: for he will understand and not answer. ²⁰ Thou sawest a man hasty in his words: hope to the foolish one more than to him. ²¹ He bringing up his servant delicately from youth, and his latter state will be a child. ²² A man of anger will excite strife, and the possessor of wrath increased transgression. ²³ A man's pride shall bring him low: and honor shall uphold him humble of spirit ²⁴ He dividing with a thief, hates his soul: he shall hear cursing and shall not announce. ²⁵ The fear of man will give a snare: and he trusting in Jehovah shall be exalted. ²⁶ Many are seeking the face of the ruler, and from Jehovah a man's judgment ²⁷ A man of iniquity is an abomination of the just; and the upright of way, an abomination of the unjust one.
