Proverbs 29

will be destroyed suddenly, with no remedy.

but when the wicked rule, the people groan.

but a companion of prostitutes squanders his wealth.

but he who takes bribes tears it down.

spreads a net for his feet.

but the righteous can sing and be glad.

The wicked aren’t concerned about knowledge.

but wise men turn away anger.

the fool rages or scoffs, and there is no peace.

and they seek the life of the upright.

but a wise man brings himself under control.

all of his officials are wicked.

Yahweh gives sight to the eyes of both.

his throne shall be established forever.

but a child left to himself causes shame to his mother.

but the righteous will see their downfall.

yes, he will bring delight to your soul.

but one who keeps the law is blessed.

Though he understands, yet he will not respond.

There is more hope for a fool than for him.

will have him become a son in the end.

and a wrathful man abounds in sin.

but one of lowly spirit gains honor.

He takes an oath, but dares not testify.

but whoever puts his trust in Yahweh is kept safe.

but a man’s justice comes from Yahweh.

and the upright in their ways detest the wicked.
