PROVERBS
29.7
- Shall hasten his steps unto the pit; none will support him.
- 18Whoso walketh uprightly shall be saved;
- But he that is perverse in his ways shall fall at once.
- 19He that tilleth his ground shall have plenty of bread;
- But he that followeth after vain things shall have poverty enough.
- 20A faithful man shall abound with blessings;
- But he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be unpunished.
- 21To have respect of persons is not good;
- For a man will transgress for a piece of bread.
- 22He that hath an evil eye hasteneth after riches,
- And knoweth not that want shall come upon him.
- 23He that rebuketh a man shall in the end find more favour
- Than he that flattereth with the tongue.
- 24Whoso robbeth his father or his mother, and saith: 'It is no transgression',
- The same is the companion of a destroyer.
- 25He that is of a greedy spirit stirreth up strife;
- But he that putteth his trust in the Lord shall be abundantly gratified.
- 26He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool;
- But whoso walketh wisely, he shall escape.
- 27He that giveth unto the poor shall not lack;
- But he that hideth his eyes shall have many a curse.
- 28When the wicked rise, men hide themselves;
- But when they perish, the righteous increase.
- 29 He that being often reproved hardeneth his neck
- Shall suddenly be broken, and that without remedy.
- 2When the righteous are increased, the people rejoice;
- But when the wicked beareth rule, the people sigh.
- 3Whoso loveth wisdom rejoiceth his father;
- But he that keepeth company with harlots wasteth his substance.
- 4The king by justice establisheth the land;
- But he that exacteth gifts overthroweth it.
- 5A man that flattereth his neighbour
- Spreadeth a net for his steps.
- 6In the transgression of an evil man there is a snare;
- But the righteous doth sing and rejoice.
- 7The righteous taketh knowledge of the cause of the poor;
- The wicked understandeth not knowledge.
