Proverbios 29
La Palabra (Hispanoamérica)
29 El reprendido que no cambia
será aniquilado pronto y sin remedio.
2 Cuando gobiernan los justos, el pueblo disfruta;
cuando manda el malvado, el pueblo sufre.
3 El que ama la sabiduría alegra a su padre,
quien frecuenta prostitutas derrocha su fortuna.
4 Un rey justo sostiene a un país,
el partidario de sobornos lo arruina.
5 Persona que halaga a su prójimo
tiende una trampa ante sus pies.
6 El delito es la trampa del malhechor,
el justo da gritos de alegría.
7 El justo respeta los derechos del pobre,
el malvado ni siquiera los conoce.
8 Los provocadores agitan la ciudad,
los sensatos calman los ánimos.
9 Si un sabio pleitea con un necio,
se enfade o se ría, nada logrará.
10 Los sanguinarios odian al honrado,
los rectos se preocupan por él.
11 El necio da rienda suelta a sus pasiones,
el sabio acaba dominándolas.
12 Al gobernante que hace caso de calumnias,
todos sus servidores le parecen malvados.
13 En una cosa coinciden pobre y explotador:
ambos reciben del Señor la vista.
14 Rey que juzga con justicia a los pobres
afirma su trono para siempre.
15 Vara y corrección dan sabiduría,
muchacho consentido avergüenza a su madre.
16 A muchos malvados, muchos delitos;
mas los justos verán su caída.
17 Corrige a tu hijo y vivirás tranquilo,
te colmará de satisfacciones.
18 Cuando no hay profecía,
el pueblo se desmanda;
dichoso el que cumple la ley.
19 Con palabras no se corrige al siervo,
pues entiende pero no hace caso.
20 Más se puede esperar de un necio
que de un charlatán apresurado.
21 Esclavo mimado desde niño
acabará siendo desagradecido.
22 El furioso provoca peleas
y el violento acumula delitos.
23 El orgulloso termina humillado,
el humilde conseguirá honores.
24 El cómplice del ladrón se hace daño a sí mismo:
oye la maldición, pero no lo delata.
25 El temor humano es una trampa,
quien confía en el Señor está a salvo.
26 Muchos buscan el favor del gobernante,
pero sólo el Señor imparte justicia.
27 Los justos detestan al criminal,
el malvado al que se porta rectamente.

Warnings and Instructions
29 A person [a]often (A)rebuked who [b]becomes obstinate
Will (B)suddenly be broken [c]beyond remedy.
2 When the (C)righteous [d]increase, the people rejoice,
But when a wicked person rules, people groan.
3 A man who (D)loves wisdom makes his father glad,
But he who (E)involves himself with prostitutes wastes his wealth.
4 The (F)king gives stability to the land by justice,
But a person who takes bribes ruins it.
5 A man who (G)flatters his neighbor
Is spreading a net for his steps.
6 By wrongdoing an evil person is (H)ensnared,
But the righteous (I)sings and rejoices.
7 The (J)righteous [e]is concerned for the rights of the poor;
The wicked does not understand such [f]concern.
8 Arrogant people (K)inflame a city,
But (L)wise people turn away anger.
9 When a wise person has a controversy with a foolish person,
[g]The foolish person either rages or laughs, and there is no rest.
10 People of (M)bloodshed hate the blameless person,
But the upright [h]are concerned for his life.
11 A (N)fool [i]always loses his temper,
But a (O)wise person holds it back.
12 If a (P)ruler pays attention to falsehood,
All his ministers become wicked.
13 The (Q)poor person and the oppressor [j]have this in common:
The Lord gives (R)light to the eyes of both.
14 If a (S)king judges the poor with truth,
His (T)throne will be established forever.
15 The (U)rod and a rebuke give wisdom,
But a child [k]who gets his own way (V)brings shame to his mother.
16 When the wicked [l]increase, wrongdoing increases;
But the (W)righteous will see their downfall.
17 (X)Correct your son, and he will give you comfort;
He will also [m](Y)delight your soul.
18 Where there is (Z)no [n]vision, the people (AA)are unrestrained,
But (AB)happy is one who keeps the Law.
19 A slave will not be instructed by words alone;
For though he understands, there will be no response.
20 Do you see a person who is (AC)hasty with his words?
There is (AD)more hope for a fool than for him.
21 One who pampers his slave from childhood
Will in the end find him to be rebellious.
22 An (AE)angry person stirs up strife,
And a hot-tempered person abounds in wrongdoing.
23 A person’s (AF)pride will bring him low,
But a (AG)humble spirit will obtain honor.
24 One who is a partner with a thief hates his own life;
He (AH)hears the oath but tells nothing.
25 The (AI)fear of man [o]brings a snare,
But one who (AJ)trusts in the Lord will be protected.
26 (AK)Many seek the ruler’s [p]favor,
But (AL)justice for mankind comes from the Lord.
27 An (AM)unjust person is an abomination to the righteous,
And one who is (AN)upright in the way is an abomination to the wicked.
