Proverbs 29 (New International Version)

Proverbs 29

1 A man who remains
stiff-necked after many rebukes
will
suddenly be destroyed—without remedy.

2 When the righteous thrive,
the people rejoice;
when the wicked
rule, the people groan.

3 A man who loves wisdom
brings joy to his father,
but a
companion of prostitutes squanders his wealth.

4 By justice a king gives a
country stability,
but one who is
greedy for bribes tears it down.

5 Whoever flatters his
neighbor
is spreading a net for his
feet.

6 An evil man is snared by
his own sin,
but a righteous one can
sing and be glad.

7 The righteous care about
justice for the poor,
but the wicked
have no such concern.

8 Mockers stir up a city,

but wise men turn away anger.

9 If a wise man goes to court
with a fool,
the fool rages and scoffs,
and there is no peace.

10 Bloodthirsty men hate a
man of integrity
and seek to kill the
upright.

11 A fool gives full vent to
his anger,
but a wise man keeps himself
under control.

12 If a ruler listens to
lies,
all his officials become wicked.

13 The poor man and the
oppressor have this in common:
The LORD
gives sight to the eyes of both.

14 If a king judges the poor
with fairness,
his throne will always
be secure.

15 The rod of correction
imparts wisdom,
but a child left to
himself disgraces his mother.

16 When the wicked thrive, so
does sin,
but the righteous will see
their downfall.

17 Discipline your son, and
he will give you peace;
he will bring
delight to your soul.

18 Where there is no
revelation, the people cast off restraint;

but blessed is he who keeps the law.

19 A servant cannot be
corrected by mere words;
though he
understands, he will not respond.

20 Do you see a man who
speaks in haste?
There is more hope for
a fool than for him.

21 If a man pampers his
servant from youth,
he will bring grief
in the
end.

22 An angry man stirs up
dissension,
and a hot-tempered one
commits many sins.

23 A man's pride brings him
low,
but a man of lowly spirit gains
honor.

24 The accomplice of a thief
is his own enemy;
he is put under oath
and dare not testify.

25 Fear of man will prove to
be a snare,
but whoever trusts in the
LORD is kept safe.

26 Many seek an audience with
a ruler,
but it is from the LORD that
man gets justice.

27 The righteous detest the
dishonest;
the wicked detest the
upright.

29:21 The meaning of the Hebrew for this word is uncertain.
