Proverbs Chapter 29 1 He, that being often reproved hardens his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy. 2 When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice . . . but when the wicked bear rule, the people mourn. 3 Whoever loves wisdom rejoices his father . . . but he who keeps company with harlots spends his substance. 4 The king by judgment establishes the land . . . but he who receives gifts overthrows it. 5 A man who flatters his neighbor spreads a net for his feet. 6 In the transgression of an evil man there is a snare . . . but the righteous do sing and rejoice. 7 The righteous considers the cause of the poor . . . but the wicked regard not to know it. 8 Scornful men bring a city into a snare . . . but wise men turn away wrath. 9 If a wise man contends with a foolish man, whether he rages or laughs, there is no rest. 10 The bloodthirsty hate the upright . . . but the just seek his soul. 11 A fool utters all his mind . . . but a wise man keeps 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 . . . Jehovah/God lightens both their eyes. 14 The king who faithfully judges the poor . . . his throne shall be established for ever. 15 The rod and reproof give wisdom . . . but a child left to himself brings his mother to shame. 16 When the wicked are multiplied, transgression increases . . . but the righteous shall see their fall. 17 Correct your son, and he shall give you rest . . . yes, he shall give delight unto your soul. {Synthetic Distich - Subject in Common - 'Learning Bible Doctrine'} 18~~Where there is not vision/'revelation of doctrine', the people perish/'are unrestrained' . . . but happinesses to those who keep the law. {Note: Happiness here is 'esher - plural and it means 'inner happiness leading to overt happiness' and to 'keep the law' here means 'having bible doctrine in the mentality of the soul and using it'.} 19 A servant will not be corrected by words . . . for though he understand he will not answer. 20 See you a man that is hasty in his words? There is more hope of a fool than of him. 21 He who delicately brings up his servant from a child shall have him become his son at the length. 22 An angry man stirs up strife, and a furious man abounds in transgression. 23 A man's pride shall bring him low . . . but honor shall uphold the humble in spirit. 24 Whoso is partner with a thief hates his own soul . . . he hears cursing, and bewrays it not. 25 The fear of man brings a snare . . . but whoso puts his trust in Jehovah/God shall be safe. 26 Many seek the ruler's grace/favor . . . but every man's judgment comes from Jehovah/God. 27 An unjust man is an abomination to the just . . . and he who is upright in the Way . . . is abomination to the wicked.
