Sprueche 29
Hoffnung für Alle
Ein Volk braucht weise Menschen
29 Wer oft ermahnt wird und trotzdem eigensinnig bleibt, der findet plötzlich ein schreckliches Ende – ohne jede Hoffnung auf Rettung!
2 Wenn es viele Menschen gibt, die Gott gehorchen, dann freut sich ein Volk. Wenn aber ein gottloser Herrscher regiert, dann kann es nur noch stöhnen.
3 Wenn du Weisheit liebst, machst du deinen Eltern Freude. Wenn du dich mit Huren einlässt, verschleuderst du dein Vermögen!
4 Wenn ein König das Recht beachtet, lebt sein Volk in Sicherheit und Frieden; doch wenn er immer neue Steuern aus ihnen herauspresst, richtet er das Land zugrunde.
5 Wer andere mit schmeichelnden Worten umgarnt, breitet ein Fangnetz vor ihren Füßen aus.
6 Der Böse verstrickt sich immer tiefer in seine Schuld; wer aber Gott gehorcht, singt vor Freude und Glück!
7 Wer Gott liebt, der achtet die Rechte der Armen; doch der Gottlose will nichts davon wissen.
8 Spötter bringen die ganze Stadt in Aufruhr, weise Menschen jedoch machen dem Ärger ein Ende.
9 Wenn ein verständiger Mensch mit einem Dummkopf vor Gericht geht, dann lacht dieser nur, oder er fängt an zu toben – aber sagen lässt er sich nichts!
10 Blutdurstige Menschen hassen alle Unschuldigen; ehrliche Menschen aber setzen alles ein, um das Leben der Unschuldigen zu retten.
11 Nur ein Dummkopf lässt seinem Zorn freien Lauf, ein Verständiger hält seinen Unmut zurück.
12 Wenn ein Herrscher auf die Worte von Lügnern hört, sind auch seine Untergebenen bald alle Betrüger!
13 Der Arme und sein Ausbeuter haben eins gemeinsam: Es ist der Herr, der beiden das Augenlicht gab!
14 Wenn ein König die Armen gerecht behandelt, dann steht seine Regierung fest und sicher.
15 Strenge Erziehung bringt ein Kind zur Vernunft. Ein Kind, das sich selbst überlassen wird, macht seinen Eltern Schande.
16 Je mehr gottlose Menschen, desto mehr Verbrechen. Wer aber Gott vertraut, wird den Untergang dieser Leute erleben.
17 Erziehe dein Kind mit Strenge! Dann wird es dir viel Freude machen.
18 Ohne Gottes Weisung verwildert ein Volk; doch es blüht auf, wenn es Gottes Gesetz befolgt!
19 Einen Sklaven kannst du nicht mit Worten allein ermahnen. Er versteht sie zwar, aber er wird sie nicht beachten.
20 Kennst du jemanden, der redet, ohne vorher überlegt zu haben? Ich sage dir: Für einen Dummkopf gibt es mehr Hoffnung als für ihn!
21 Wenn du einen Sklaven von Anfang an verwöhnst, wird er sich schließlich über dich erheben![a]
22 Wer schnell aufbraust, ruft Streit hervor; und ein Jähzorniger lädt viel Schuld auf sich!
23 Wer hochmütig ist, wird schließlich erniedrigt werden; der Bescheidene dagegen wird geehrt.
24 Wer mit einem Dieb die Beute teilt, der muss lebensmüde sein! Er hört den Fluch des Gerichts, aber anzeigen kann er den Räuber nicht.[b]
25 Wer das Urteil der Menschen fürchtet, gerät in ihre Abhängigkeit; wer dem Herrn vertraut, ist gelassen und sicher.
26 Viele suchen die Gunst eines Herrschers, doch der Herr allein verschafft jedem Recht!
27 Wer Gott liebt, verabscheut den Übeltäter. Wer Gott missachtet, verabscheut den Aufrichtigen.

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.
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)
