Proverbios 29
Nueva Biblia de las Américas
29 El hombre que después de mucha reprensión se pone terco[a],
De repente será quebrantado sin remedio[b](A).
2 Cuando los justos aumentan[c], el pueblo se alegra(B);
Pero cuando el impío gobierna, el pueblo gime.
3 El que ama la sabiduría alegra a su padre(C),
Pero el que anda con rameras malgasta su fortuna(D).
4 El rey con la justicia[d] afianza la tierra(E),
Pero el hombre que acepta soborno la destruye.
5 El hombre que adula(F) a su prójimo
Tiende una red ante[e] sus pasos.
6 El hombre malo es atrapado(G) en la transgresión,
Pero el justo canta y se regocija(H).
7 El justo se preocupa por[f] la causa de los pobres(I),
Pero el impío no entiende tal preocupación[g].
8 Los provocadores agitan la ciudad(J),
Pero los sabios alejan la ira(K).
9 Cuando un sabio tiene controversia con un necio,
Este se enoja o se ríe, y no hay descanso.
10 Los hombres sanguinarios odian al intachable[h](L),
Pero los rectos se preocupan por[i] su alma.
11 El necio da rienda suelta a su ira[j](M),
Pero el sabio la reprime(N).
12 Si un gobernante presta atención a palabras mentirosas(O),
Todos sus servidores se vuelven impíos.
13 El pobre y el opresor tienen esto en común[k](P):
El Señor alumbra a los ojos(Q) de ambos.
14 El rey que juzga con verdad a los pobres(R)
Afianzará su trono para siempre(S).
15 La vara y la reprensión(T) dan sabiduría,
Pero el niño consentido[l] avergüenza a su madre(U).
16 Cuando aumentan[m] los impíos, aumenta la transgresión,
Pero los justos verán su caída(V).
17 Disciplina a tu hijo(W) y te dará descanso,
Y dará alegría[n] a tu alma(X).
18 Donde no hay visión[o](Y), el pueblo se desenfrena(Z),
Pero bienaventurado es el que guarda la ley(AA).
19 Un siervo no aprende solo con palabras;
Aunque entienda, no responderá[p].
20 ¿Ves a un hombre precipitado en sus palabras(AB)?
Más esperanza hay para el necio que para él(AC).
21 El que mima a su siervo desde la niñez,
Al final lo tendrá por hijo[q].
22 El hombre lleno de ira provoca rencillas(AD),
Y el hombre violento abunda en transgresiones.
23 El orgullo del hombre lo humillará(AE),
Pero el de espíritu humilde obtendrá honores(AF).
24 El que se asocia con un ladrón aborrece su propia vida[r];
Oye el juramento[s], pero no dice nada(AG).
25 El temor al hombre es[t] un lazo(AH),
Pero el que confía en el Señor estará seguro[u](AI).
26 Muchos buscan el favor[v] del gobernante(AJ),
Pero del Señor viene la justicia[w] para el hombre(AK).
27 Abominación para los justos es el malvado(AL),
Y abominación para el impío es el recto en su camino(AM).

Proverbs 29
Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition
Proverbs 29
Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition
29 The man that with a stiff neck despiseth him that reproveth him, shall suddenly be destroyed: and health shall not follow him.
2 When just men increase, the people shall rejoice: when the wicked shall bear rule, the people shall mourn.
3 A man that loveth wisdom, rejoiceth his father: but he that maintaineth bar lots, shall squander away his substance.
4 A just king setteth up the land: a covetous man shall destroy it.
5 A man that speaketh to his friend with flattering and dissembling words, spreadeth a net for his feet.
6 A snare shall entangle the wicked man when he sinneth: and the just shall praise and rejoice.
7 The just taketh notice of the cause of the poor: the wicked is void of knowledge.
8 Corrupt men bring a city to ruin: but wise men turn away wrath.
9 If a wise man contend with a fool, whether he be angry or laugh, he shall find no rest.
10 Bloodthirsty men hate the upright: but just men seek his soul.
11 A fool uttereth all his mind: a wise man deferreth, and keepeth it till afterwards.
12 A prince that gladly heareth lying words, hath all his servants wicked.
13 The poor man and the creditor have met one another: the Lord is the enlightener of them both.
14 The king that judgeth the poor in truth, his throne shall be established for ever.
15 The rod and reproof give wisdom: but the child that is left to his own will bringeth his mother to shame.
16 When the wicked are multiplied, crimes shall be multiplied: but the just shall see their downfall.
17 Instruct thy son, and he shall refresh thee, and shall give delight to thy soul.
18 When prophecy shall fail, the people shall be scattered abroad: but he that keepeth the law is blessed.
19 A slave will not be corrected by words: because he understandeth what thou sayest, and will not answer.
20 Hast thou seen a man hasty to speak? folly is rather to be looked for, than his amendment.
21 He that nourisheth his servant delicately from his childhood, afterwards shall find him stubborn.
22 A passionate man provoketh quarrels: and he that is easily stirred up to wrath, shall be more prone to sin.
23 Humiliation followeth the proud: and glory shall uphold the humble of spirit.
24 He that is partaker with a thief, hateth his own soul: he heareth one putting him to his oath, and discovereth not.
25 He that feareth man, shall quickly fall: he that trusteth in the Lord, shall be set on high.
26 Many seek the face of the prince: but the judgment of every one cometh forth from the Lord.
27 The just abhor the wicked man: and the wicked loathe them that are in the right way. The son that keepeth the word, shall be free from destruction.
Proverbs 29
New International Version
Proverbs 29
New International Version
29 Whoever remains stiff-necked(A) after many rebukes
will suddenly be destroyed(B)—without remedy.(C)
3 A man who loves wisdom brings joy to his father,(G)
but a companion of prostitutes squanders his wealth.(H)
4 By justice a king gives a country stability,(I)
but those who are greedy for[a] bribes tear it down.
5 Those who flatter their neighbors
are spreading nets for their feet.(J)
6 Evildoers are snared by their own sin,(K)
but the righteous shout for joy and are glad.
7 The righteous care about justice for the poor,(L)
but the wicked have no such concern.
8 Mockers stir up a city,
but the wise turn away anger.(M)
9 If a wise person goes to court with a fool,
the fool rages and scoffs, and there is no peace.
10 The bloodthirsty hate a person of integrity
and seek to kill the upright.(N)
13 The poor and the oppressor have this in common:
The Lord gives sight to the eyes of both.(S)
14 If a king judges the poor with fairness,
his throne will be established forever.(T)
15 A rod and a reprimand impart wisdom,
but a child left undisciplined disgraces its mother.(U)
16 When the wicked thrive, so does sin,
but the righteous will see their downfall.(V)
17 Discipline your children, and they will give you peace;
they will bring you the delights you desire.(W)
18 Where there is no revelation, people cast off restraint;
but blessed is the one who heeds wisdom’s instruction.(X)
19 Servants cannot be corrected by mere words;
though they understand, they will not respond.
20 Do you see someone who speaks in haste?
There is more hope for a fool than for them.(Y)
21 A servant pampered from youth
will turn out to be insolent.
22 An angry person stirs up conflict,
and a hot-tempered person commits many sins.(Z)
24 The accomplices of thieves are their own enemies;
they are put under oath and dare not testify.(AC)
27 The righteous detest the dishonest;
the wicked detest the upright.(AI)
