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
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)

Proverbs 29
King James Version
Proverbs 29
King James Version
29 He, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy.
2 When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.
3 Whoso loveth wisdom rejoiceth his father: but he that keepeth company with harlots spendeth his substance.
4 The king by judgment establisheth the land: but he that receiveth gifts overthroweth it.
5 A man that flattereth his neighbour spreadeth a net for his feet.
6 In the transgression of an evil man there is a snare: but the righteous doth sing and rejoice.
7 The righteous considereth the cause of the poor: but the wicked regardeth not to know it.
8 Scornful men bring a city into a snare: but wise men turn away wrath.
9 If a wise man contendeth with a foolish man, whether he rage or laugh, there is no rest.
10 The bloodthirsty hate the upright: but the just seek his soul.
11 A fool uttereth all his mind: but a wise man keepeth it in till afterwards.
12 If a ruler hearken to lies, all his servants are wicked.
13 The poor and the deceitful man meet together: the Lord lighteneth both their eyes.
14 The king that faithfully judgeth the poor, his throne shall be established for ever.
15 The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame.
16 When the wicked are multiplied, transgression increaseth: but the righteous shall see their fall.
17 Correct thy son, and he shall give thee rest; yea, he shall give delight unto thy soul.
18 Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.
19 A servant will not be corrected by words: for though he understand he will not answer.
20 Seest thou a man that is hasty in his words? there is more hope of a fool than of him.
21 He that delicately bringeth up his servant from a child shall have him become his son at the length.
22 An angry man stirreth up strife, and a furious man aboundeth in transgression.
23 A man's pride shall bring him low: but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit.
24 Whoso is partner with a thief hateth his own soul: he heareth cursing, and bewrayeth it not.
25 The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the Lord shall be safe.
26 Many seek the ruler's favour; but every man's judgment cometh from the Lord.
27 An unjust man is an abomination to the just: and he that is upright in the way is abomination to the wicked.

29 A man who hardens his neck after (A)much reproof
Will (B)suddenly be broken [a]beyond healing.
2 When the (C)righteous [b]increase, the people are glad,
But when a wicked man rules, people groan.
3 A man who (D)loves wisdom makes his father glad,
But he who (E)befriends harlots destroys his wealth.
4 By justice the (F)king causes the land to stand,
But a man of bribes tears it down.
5 A man who (G)flatters his neighbor
Is spreading a net for his steps.
6 By transgression an evil man is (H)ensnared,
But the righteous (I)sings with joy and is glad.
7 The (J)righteous knows the cause of the poor,
The wicked does not understand that knowledge.
8 Scoffers [c](K)set a city aflame,
But (L)wise men turn away anger.
9 When a wise man is brought into judgment with a man who is an ignorant fool,
[d]The ignorant fool both rages and laughs, and there is no rest.
10 Men of (M)bloodshed hate the blameless,
But the upright seek the well-being of his soul.
11 A (N)fool [e]lets out all of his spirit,
But a (O)wise man holds it back.
12 If a (P)ruler pays attention to a lying word,
All his ministers become wicked.
13 The (Q)poor man and the oppressor meet together in this—
Yahweh 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 reproof give wisdom,
But a child [f]left to himself (V)brings shame to his mother.
16 When the wicked [g]increase, transgression increases;
But the (W)righteous will see their fall.
17 (X)Discipline your son, and he will give you rest;
And he will (Y)give delight to your soul.
18 Where there is (Z)no [h]vision, the people (AA)are out of control,
But how (AB)blessed is he who keeps the law.
19 A slave will not be corrected by words alone;
For though he understands, there will be no answer.
20 Do you behold a man who is (AC)hasty in his words?
There is (AD)more hope for a fool than for him.
21 He who pampers his slave from childhood
Will in the end find him to be [i]arrogant.
22 An (AE)angry man stirs up strife,
And a hot-tempered man abounds in transgression.
23 A man’s (AF)lofty pride will bring him low,
But a (AG)lowly spirit will take hold of glory.
24 He who [j]divides the spoil with a thief hates his own soul;
He (AH)hears the oath but declares nothing.
25 (AI)Trembling before man [k]brings a snare,
But he who (AJ)trusts in Yahweh will be set securely on high.
26 (AK)Many seek the face of a ruler,
But (AL)justice for man comes from Yahweh.
27 An (AM)unjust man is an abomination to the righteous,
And he who is (AN)upright in the way is an abomination to the wicked.
