Proverbs 29
New King James Version
Happy Is He Who Keeps the Law
29 He(A) who is often rebuked, and hardens his neck,
Will suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy.
2 When the righteous [a]are in authority, the (B)people rejoice;
But when a wicked man rules, (C)the people groan.
3 Whoever loves wisdom makes his father rejoice,
But a companion of harlots wastes his wealth.
4 The king establishes the land by justice,
But he who receives bribes overthrows it.
5 A man who (D)flatters his neighbor
Spreads a net for his feet.
6 By transgression an evil man is snared,
But the righteous sings and rejoices.
7 The righteous (E)considers the cause of the poor,
But the wicked does not understand such knowledge.
8 Scoffers (F)set a city aflame,
But wise men turn away wrath.
9 If a wise man contends with a foolish man,
(G)Whether the fool rages or laughs, there is no peace.
12 If a ruler pays attention to lies,
All his servants become wicked.
13 The poor man and the oppressor have this in common:
(J)The Lord gives light to the eyes of both.
14 The king who judges the (K)poor with truth,
His throne will be established forever.
15 The rod and rebuke give (L)wisdom,
But a child left to himself brings shame to his mother.
16 When the wicked are multiplied, transgression increases;
But the righteous will see their (M)fall.
17 Correct your son, and he will give you rest;
Yes, he will give delight to your soul.
18 (N)Where there is no [d]revelation, the people cast off restraint;
But (O)happy is he who keeps the law.
19 A servant will not be corrected by mere words;
For though he understands, he will not respond.
20 Do you see a man hasty in his words?
(P)There is more hope for a fool than for him.
21 He who pampers his servant from childhood
Will have him as a son in the end.
22 (Q)An angry man stirs up strife,
And a furious man abounds in transgression.
23 (R)A man’s pride will bring him low,
But the humble in spirit will retain honor.
24 Whoever is a partner with a thief hates his own life;
(S)He [e]swears to tell the truth, but reveals nothing.
27 An unjust man is an abomination to the righteous,
And he who is upright in the way is an abomination to the wicked.

Kawikaan 29
Ang Dating Biblia (1905)
29 Ang madalas na masaway na nagpapatigas ng kaniyang leeg, biglang mababali, at walang kagamutan.
2 Pagka ang matuwid ay dumadami, ang bayan ay nagagalak: nguni't pagka ang masama ay nagpupuno, ang bayan ay nagbubuntong-hininga.
3 Ang umiibig ng karunungan ay nagpapagalak sa kaniyang ama: nguni't ang nakikisama sa mga patutot ay sumisira ng kaniyang tinatangkilik.
4 Ang hari ay nagtatatag ng lupain sa pamamagitan ng kahatulan: nguni't ang humihingi ng suhol ay gumigiba.
5 Ang tao na kunwang pumupuri sa kaniyang kapuwa naglalagay ng bitag sa kaniyang mga hakbang.
6 Sa pagsalangsang ng masamang tao ay may silo: nguni't ang matuwid ay umaawit at nagagalak.
7 Ang matuwid ay kumukuhang alam sa bagay ng dukha: ang masama ay walang unawang makaalam.
8 Ang mga mangduduwahaging tao ay naglalagay ng bayan sa liyab: nguni't ang mga pantas na tao ay nagaalis ng poot.
9 Kung ang pantas ay magkaroon ng pakikipagtalo sa isang mangmang, magalit man o tumawa, ang mangmang ay hindi magkakaroon ng kapahingahan.
10 Ang mangbububo ng dugo ay nagtatanim sa sakdal: at tungkol sa matuwid, hinahanap nila ang kaniyang buhay.
11 Inihihinga ng mangmang ang buong galit niya: nguni't ang pantas ay nagpipigil at tumitiwasay.
12 Kung ang puno ay nakikinig sa kabulaanan, lahat niyang mga lingkod ay masasama.
13 Ang dukha at ang mamimighati ay nagsasalubong; pinapagniningas ng Panginoon ang mga mata nila kapuwa.
14 Ang hari na humahatol na tapat sa dukha, ang kaniyang luklukan ay matatatag magpakailan man.
15 Ang pamalo at saway ay nagbibigay karunungan: nguni't ang batang binabayaan ay humihiya sa kaniyang ina.
16 Pagka ang masama ay dumadami, pagsalangsang ay dumadami: nguni't mamamasdan ng matuwid ang kanilang pagkabuwal.
17 Sawayin mo ang iyong anak, at bibigyan ka niya ng kapahingahan; Oo, bibigyan niya ng kaluguran ang iyong kaluluwa.
18 Kung saan walang pangitain, ang bayan ay sumasama: nguni't siyang nagiingat ng kautusan ay maligaya siya.
19 Ang alipin ay hindi masasaway ng mga salita: sapagka't bagaman nalalaman niya ay hindi siya makikinig.
20 Nakikita mo ba ang tao, na nagmamadali sa kaniyang mga salita? May pagasa pa sa mangmang kay sa kaniya.
21 Siyang maingat na nagpalaki ng kaniyang lingkod mula sa pagkabata, magiging anak niya siya sa kawakasan.
22 Ang taong magagalitin ay humihila ng kaalitan, at ang mainiting tao ay nananagana sa pagsalangsang.
23 Ang kapalaluan ng tao ay magbababa sa kaniya: nguni't ang may mapagpakumbabang diwa ay magtatamo ng karangalan.
24 Ang nakikisama sa isang magnanakaw ay nagtatanim sa kaniyang sariling kaluluwa: siya'y nakakarinig ng sumpa at hindi umiimik.
25 Ang pagkatakot sa tao ay nagdadala ng silo: nguni't ang naglalagak ng kaniyang tiwala sa Panginoon ay maliligtas.
26 Marami ang nagsisihanap ng lingap ng pinuno: nguni't ang kahatulan ng tao ay nagmumula sa Panginoon.
27 Ang di ganap na tao ay karumaldumal sa matuwid: at ang matuwid sa lakad ay karumaldumal sa masama.
