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.
Proverbs 29
English Standard Version
Proverbs 29
English Standard Version
29 (A)He who is often reproved, yet stiffens his neck,
will suddenly be (B)broken (C)beyond healing.
2 When (D)the righteous increase, the people rejoice,
but when (E)the wicked rule, the people groan.
3 He who (F)loves wisdom makes his father glad,
but (G)a companion of prostitutes (H)squanders his wealth.
4 By justice a king (I)builds up the land,
but he who exacts gifts[a] tears it down.
5 (J)A man who flatters his neighbor
spreads (K)a net for his feet.
6 An evil man is (L)ensnared in his transgression,
but a righteous man (M)sings and rejoices.
7 A righteous man (N)knows the rights of the poor;
a wicked man does not (O)understand such knowledge.
8 (P)Scoffers set a city aflame,
but the wise turn away wrath.
9 If a wise man has an argument with a fool,
the fool only rages and laughs, and there is (Q)no quiet.
10 Bloodthirsty men (R)hate one who is blameless
and seek the life of the upright.[b]
11 A fool gives full vent to his spirit,
but a wise man quietly holds it back.
12 If a ruler listens to falsehood,
all his officials will be wicked.
13 The poor man and the oppressor (S)meet together;
the Lord (T)gives light to the eyes of both.
14 If a king (U)faithfully judges the poor,
his throne will (V)be established forever.
15 (W)The rod and reproof give wisdom,
but a child left to himself (X)brings shame to his mother.
16 When the wicked increase, transgression increases,
but (Y)the righteous will look upon their downfall.
17 (Z)Discipline your son, and he will give you rest;
he will give delight to your heart.
18 Where (AA)there is no prophetic vision the people (AB)cast off restraint,[c]
but blessed is he who (AC)keeps the law.
19 By mere words a servant is not disciplined,
for though he understands, he will not respond.
20 Do you see a man who is hasty in his words?
(AD)There is more hope for a fool than for him.
21 Whoever pampers his servant from childhood
will in the end find him his heir.[d]
22 (AE)A man of wrath stirs up strife,
and one given to anger causes much transgression.
23 (AF)One's pride will bring him low,
(AG)but he who is lowly in spirit will obtain honor.
24 The partner of a thief (AH)hates his own life;
(AI)he hears the curse, but discloses nothing.
25 (AJ)The fear of man lays a snare,
but whoever trusts in the Lord is safe.
26 Many (AK)seek the face of a ruler,
but it is from the Lord that a man (AL)gets justice.
27 (AM)An unjust man is an abomination to the righteous,
but one whose way is straight is an abomination to the wicked.

Proverbios 29
Reina-Valera 1960
29 El hombre que reprendido endurece la cerviz,
De repente será quebrantado, y no habrá para él medicina.
2 Cuando los justos dominan, el pueblo se alegra;
Mas cuando domina el impío, el pueblo gime.
3 El hombre que ama la sabiduría alegra a su padre;
Mas el que frecuenta rameras perderá los bienes.
4 El rey con el juicio afirma la tierra;
Mas el que exige presentes la destruye.
5 El hombre que lisonjea a su prójimo,
Red tiende delante de sus pasos.
6 En la transgresión del hombre malo hay lazo;
Mas el justo cantará y se alegrará.
7 Conoce el justo la causa de los pobres;
Mas el impío no entiende sabiduría.
8 Los hombres escarnecedores ponen la ciudad en llamas;
Mas los sabios apartan la ira.
9 Si el hombre sabio contendiere con el necio,
Que se enoje o que se ría, no tendrá reposo.
10 Los hombres sanguinarios aborrecen al perfecto,
Mas los rectos buscan su contentamiento.
11 El necio da rienda suelta a toda su ira,
Mas el sabio al fin la sosiega.
12 Si un gobernante atiende la palabra mentirosa,
Todos sus servidores serán impíos.
13 El pobre y el usurero se encuentran;
Jehová alumbra los ojos de ambos.
14 Del rey que juzga con verdad a los pobres,
El trono será firme para siempre.
15 La vara y la corrección dan sabiduría;
Mas el muchacho consentido avergonzará a su madre.
16 Cuando los impíos son muchos, mucha es la transgresión;
Mas los justos verán la ruina de ellos.
17 Corrige a tu hijo, y te dará descanso,
Y dará alegría a tu alma.
18 Sin profecía el pueblo se desenfrena;
Mas el que guarda la ley es bienaventurado.
19 El siervo no se corrige con palabras;
Porque entiende, mas no hace caso.
20 ¿Has visto hombre ligero en sus palabras?
Más esperanza hay del necio que de él.
21 El siervo mimado desde la niñez por su amo,
A la postre será su heredero.
22 El hombre iracundo levanta contiendas,
Y el furioso muchas veces peca.
23 La soberbia del hombre le abate;
Pero al humilde de espíritu sustenta la honra.
24 El cómplice del ladrón aborrece su propia alma;
Pues oye la imprecación y no dice nada.
25 El temor del hombre pondrá lazo;
Mas el que confía en Jehová será exaltado.
26 Muchos buscan el favor del príncipe;
Mas de Jehová viene el juicio de cada uno.
27 Abominación es a los justos el hombre inicuo;
Y abominación es al impío el de caminos rectos.
