Chapter 29

1 He,376 that being often reproved8433 hardeneth7185 his neck,6203 shall suddenly6621 be destroyed,7665 and that without369 remedy.4832

2 When the righteous6662 are in authority,7235 the people5971 rejoice:8055 but when the wicked7563 beareth rule,4910 the people5971 mourn.584

3 Whoso376 loveth157 wisdom2451 rejoiceth8055 his father:1 but he that keepeth company7462 with harlots2181 spendeth6 his substance.1952

4 The king4428 by judgment4941 establisheth5975 the land:776 but he376 that receiveth gifts8641 overthroweth2040 it.

5 A man1397 that flattereth2505 5921 his neighbor7453 spreadeth6566 a net7568 for5921 his feet.6471

6 In the transgression6588 of an evil7451 man376 there is a snare:4170 but the righteous6662 doth sing7442 and rejoice.8055

7 The righteous6662 considereth3045 the cause1779 of the poor:1800 but the wicked7563 regardeth995 not3808 to know1847 it.

8 Scornful3944 men376 bring a city into a snare:6315 7151 but wise2450 men turn away7725 wrath.639

9 If a wise2450 man376 contendeth8199 with854 a foolish191 man,376 whether he rage7264 or laugh,7832 there is no369 rest.5183

10 The bloodthirsty376 1818 hate8130 the upright:8535 but the just3477 seek1245 his soul.5315

11 A fool3684 uttereth3318 all3605 his mind:7307 but a wise2450 man keepeth7623 it in till afterwards.268

12 If a ruler4910 hearken7181 to5921 lies,1697 8267 all3605 his servants8334 are wicked.7563

13 The poor7326 and the deceitful8501 man376 meet together:6298 the LORD3068 lighteneth215 both8147 their eyes.5869

14 The king4428 that faithfully571 judgeth8199 the poor,1800 his throne3678 shall be established3559 forever.5703

15 The rod7626 and reproof8433 give5414 wisdom:2451 but a child5288 left7971 to himself bringeth his mother517 to shame.954

16 When the wicked7563 are multiplied,7235 transgression6588 increaseth:7235 but the righteous6662 shall see7200 their fall.4658

17 Correct3256 thy son,1121 and he shall give thee rest;5117 yea, he shall give5414 delight4574 unto thy soul.5315

18 Where there is no369 vision,2377 the people5971 perish:6544 but he that keepeth8104 the law,8451 happy835 is he.

19 A servant5650 will not3808 be corrected3256 by words:1697 for though3588 he understand995 he will not369 answer.4617

20 Seest2372 thou a man376 that is hasty213 in his words?1697 there is more hope8615 of a fool3684 than of4480 him.

21 He that delicately bringeth up6445 his servant5650 from a child4480 5290 shall have him become1961 his son4497 at the length.319

22 An angry639 man376 stirreth up1624 strife,4066 and a furious2534 man1167 aboundeth7227 in transgression.6588

23 A man's120 pride1346 shall bring him low:8213 but honor3519 shall uphold8551 the humble8217 in spirit.7307

24 Whoso is partner2505 with5973 a thief1590 hateth8130 his own soul:5315 he heareth8085 cursing,423 and betrayeth5046 it not.3808

25 The fear2731 of man120 bringeth5414 a snare:4170 but whoso putteth his trust982 in the LORD3068 shall be safe.7682

26 Many7227 seek1245 the ruler's4910 favor;6440 but every man's376 judgment4941 cometh from the LORD.4480 3068

27 An unjust5766 man376 is an abomination8441 to the just:6662 and he that is upright3477 in the way1870 is abomination8441 to the wicked.7563

箴言

第29章

1 屢受譴責,仍強厥項,必致敗亡,援手無人。

2 義人在位,人民欣喜,惡者秉鈞,億兆咨嗟,

3 好慧者悅親,狎妓者傷財。

4 王秉義,國以立,主受賄,邦必喪。

5 諂諛同儕,如設網羅。

6 惡者犯罪,自取其戾,義者謳歌,自得其樂。

7 貧人之事,義者力爲治理,惡者置若罔聞。

8 在彼城邑,强者謀叛,智者弭亂。

9 愚與智爭曲直,智者雖喜怒兼施,末由息訟。

10 惟彼善人,暴虐者憾之,爲義者保之。

11 愚者露其衷懷,智者藏諸心曲。

12 君聽虛妄,臣下化之。

13 貧富錯處,皆耶和華所照臨。

14 王伸貧民之寃,真實無妄,國祚綿長。

15 子見督責,必益智慧,否則貽父母羞。

16 作惡者衆,則惡事叢生,義人見其覆亡焉。

17 訓子以嚴,可獲安樂。

18 天不昭示,民必妄作,克守律法,可獲綏安。

19 主諭僕,僕不聽,惟責以言,不足以罰其過。

20 愚者猶可望其改過,造次者畢生絶望。

21 始寵厥僕,愛養逾分,終必自視爲爾子。

22 人易怒,益爭競,人發憤,多罪愆。

23 驕侈必降卑,撝謙必獲榮。

24 與盜爲侶,聽其盟誓,不以告人者,必自取戾。

25 畏威而不敢赴義,必陷乎罪,畏耶和華者必得護衛。

26 求恩於王,雖多奚爲,不知定人事者,在乎耶和華。

27 義者惟惡人是疾,惡者亦惟義人是憾。
