He
<0376>_,

that being often reproved
<08433>

<07185> (8688)

[his] neck

<06662>

are in authority
<07235> (8800)_,

loveth
<0157> (8802)

wisdom

his father
<01>_:

but he that keepeth company
<07462> (8802)

with harlots
<02181> (8802)

spendeth
<06> (8762)

[his] substance

<04428>

by judgment
<04941>

of an evil
<07451>

man

[there is] a snare

<06662>

doth sing
<07442> (8799)

and rejoice
<08056>_.

29:7

The righteous
<06662>

considereth
<03045> (8802)

[it].

29:8

men
<0582>

bring
<06315> (0)

but wise

whether he rage

[there is] no rest

29:10

The bloodthirsty
<0582> <01818>

<08130> (8799)

the upright

seek
<01245> (8762)

his soul
<05315>_.

29:11

The poor
<07326> (8802)

and the deceitful
<08501>

the LORD
<03068>

lighteneth

both

their eyes

<04428>

that faithfully

his throne

<03559> (8735)

for ever

29:15

The rod
<07626>

and reproof
<08433>

give

delight
<04574>

unto thy soul
<05315>_.

29:18

Where [there is] no vision
<02377>_,

the people
<05971>

[is] he. {perish: or, is made naked}

29:19

<05650>

he will not answer
<04617>_.

29:20

<02372> (8804)

thou a man
<0376>

[that is] hasty
<0213> (8801)

in his words
<01697>_?

<06445> (8764)

his servant

<01624> (8762)

strife
<04066>_,

and a furious
<02534>

man
<01167>

aboundeth in
<07227>

transgression
<06588>_.

29:23

A man's
<0120>

pride
<01346>

shall bring him low
<08213> (8686)_:

but honour
<03519>

shall uphold
<08551> (8799)

the humble
<08217>

in spirit
<07307>_.

29:24

<02505> (8802)

with a thief
<01590>

hateth
<08130> (8802)

his own soul
<05315>_:

he heareth
<08085> (8799)

cursing
<0423>_,

and bewrayeth
<05046> (8686)

[it] not.

29:25

The fear
<02731>

of man
<0120>

bringeth
<05414> (8799)

a snare
<04170>_:

but whoso putteth his trust
<0982> (8802)

in the LORD
<03068>

shall be safe
<07682> (8792)_.

{safe: Heb. set on high}

Many
<07227>

seek
<01245> (8764)

the ruler's

favour
<06440>_;

but [every] man's
<0376>

judgment
<04941>

[cometh] from the LORD
<03068>_.

{the ruler's...: Heb. the face of a ruler}

29:27

An unjust
<05766>

man
<0376>

[is] an abomination
<08441>

to the just
<06662>_:

and [he that is] upright
<03477>

in the way
<01870>

[is] abomination
<08441>

to the wicked
<07563>_.
