Proverbs 29

1 Anyone who goes on stubbornly rejecting many warnings will be suddenly destroyed, without hope of healing.

A man that hardeneth his necke when he is rebuked, shall suddenly be destroyed and can not be cured.

2 When good people are in charge, everybody celebrates; but when the wicked rule, everybody groans.

When the righteous are in authoritie, the people reioyce: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people sigh.

3 A man who loves wisdom makes his father happy, but one who visits prostitutes throws away his money.

A man that loueth wisdome, reioyceth his father: but he that feedeth harlots, wasteth his substance.

4 A king who rules justly makes the country secure, but one who asks for bribes will destroy it.

A King by iudgement mainteineth ye countrey: but a man receiuing giftes, destroyeth it.

5 Those who flatter their friends lay a net to trip them up.

A man that flattereth his neighbour, spreadeth a net for his steps.

6 Evil people are trapped by their own sins, but those who do right sing and celebrate.

In the transgression of an euill man is his snare: but the righteous doeth sing and reioyce.

7 Good people care about treating the poor fairly, but the wicked don't think about it at all.

The righteous knoweth the cause of the poore: but the wicked regardeth not knowledge.

8 Cynical people can inflame a whole city, but the wise calm angry people down.

Scornefull men bring a citie into a snare: but wise men turne away wrath.

9 When a wise man takes a stupid man to court, there's raging and ridicule, but nothing is settled.

If a wise man contend with a foolish man, whether he be angry or laugh, there is no rest.

10 Murderers hate people of integrity, but those who live right try to help them.

Bloodie men hate him that is vpright: but the iust haue care of his soule.

11 Stupid people let all their anger out, while wise people quietly hold it in.

A foole powreth out all his minde: but a wise man keepeth it in till afterward.

12 A ruler who listens to lies will have nothing but wicked officials.

Of a prince that hearkeneth to lyes, all his seruants are wicked.

13 Poor people and their oppressors have this in common: the Lord gives life to all of them.

The poore and the vsurer meete together, and the Lord lighteneth both their eyes.

14 If a king judges the poor fairly, he will have a long rule.

A King that iudgeth the poore in trueth, his throne shalbe established for euer.

15 Discipline and correction provide wisdom, but a son left undisciplined is an embarrassment to his mother.

The rodde and correction giue wisdome: but a childe set a libertie, maketh his mother ashamed.

16 When the wicked are in power, sin increases; but the good will see their downfall.

When the wicked are increased, transgression increaseth: but ye righteous shall see their fall.

17 Discipline your children and they won't give you any worries; they will make you very happy.

Correct thy sonne and he will giue thee rest, and will giue pleasures to thy soule.

18 Without a revelation from God, the people go out of control, but those who keep the law are happy.

Where there is no vision, the people decay: but he that keepeth the Lawe, is blessed.

19 A servant can't be disciplined by words alone; though they understand, they don't follow what they're told.

A seruant will not be chastised with words: though he vnderstand, yet he will not answere.

20 Have you seen a man who speaks without thinking? There's more hope for stupid people than for him!

Seest thou a man hastie in his matters? there is more hope of a foole, then of him.

21 A servant indulged from childhood will in the end become unmanageable.

He that delicately bringeth vp his seruant from youth, at length he will be euen as his sone.

22 Angry people stir up trouble, those with short tempers commit many sins.

An angrie man stirreth vp strife, and a furious man aboundeth in transgression.

23 If you're proud, you'll be humiliated; but if you're humble, you'll be honored.

The pride of a man shall bring him lowe: but the humble in spirit shall enioy glory.

24 A thief's partner hates his life; even under the threat of being cursed he can't tell the truth.

He that is partner with a thiefe, hateth his owne soule: he heareth cursing, and declareth it not.

25 Being afraid of people traps you, but if you trust in the Lord you're safe.

The feare of man bringeth a snare: but he that trusteth in the Lord, shalbe exalted.

26 Many people look for favors from a ruler, but justice comes from the Lord.

Many doe seeke the face of the ruler: but euery mans iudgement commeth from the Lord.

27 Good people hate those who are unjust; the wicked hate those who do what's right.

A wicked man is abomination to the iust, and he that is vpright in his way, is abomination to the wicked.
