Proverbs 29:16–27

16  When the wicked are multiplied, transgression increaseth:

But lthe righteous shall msee their fall.

17  gnCorrect thy son, and he shall give thee rest;

Yea, khe shall give delight unto thy soul.

18  oWhere there is no vision, the people ||perish:

But phe that keepeth the law, happy is he.

19  sA servant will not be corrected by words:

For though he understand he will not answer.

20  qSeest thou a man that is hasty ||in his words?

rThere is more hope of a fool than of him.

21  He that delicately bringeth up shis servant from a child

Shall have him become his son at the length.

22  tAn angry man stirreth up strife,

And ua furious man aboundeth in transgression.

23  A wman’s pride shall bring him low:

But honour shall uphold the xhumble in spirit.

24  Whoso is partner with a thief yhateth his own soul:

zHe heareth cursing, and abewrayeth it not.

25  bThe fear of man bringeth a snare:

But whoso cputteth his trust in the Lord †shall be safe.

26  dMany seek †the ruler’s favour;

But every man’s ejudgment cometh from the Lord.

27  fAn unjust man is an abomination to the just:

And he that is upright in the way is abomination to the wicked.
