The Holy Bible - The Proverbs, Chapter 29 (Latin)

1He, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy.

2When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.

3Whoso loveth wisdom rejoiceth his father: but he that keepeth company with harlots spendeth his substance.

4The king by judgment establisheth the land: but he that receiveth gifts overthroweth it.

5A man that flattereth his neighbour spreadeth a net for his feet.

6In the transgression of an evil man there is a snare: but the righteous doth sing and rejoice.

7The righteous considereth the cause of the poor: but the wicked regardeth not to know it.

8Scornful men bring a city into a snare: but wise men turn away wrath.

9If a wise man contendeth with a foolish man, whether he rage or laugh, there is no rest.

10The bloodthirsty hate the upright: but the just seek his soul.

11A fool uttereth all his mind: but a wise man keepeth it in till afterwards.

12If a ruler hearken to lies, all his servants are wicked.

13The poor and the deceitful man meet together: the LORD lighteneth both their eyes.

14The king that faithfully judgeth the poor, his throne shall be established for ever.

15The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame.

16When the wicked are multiplied, transgression increaseth: but the righteous shall see their fall.

17Correct thy son, and he shall give thee rest; yea, he shall give delight unto thy soul.

18Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.

19A servant will not be corrected by words: for though he understand he will not answer.

20Seest thou a man that is hasty in his words? there is more hope of a fool than of him.

21He that delicately bringeth up his servant from a child shall have him become his son at the length.

22An angry man stirreth up strife, and a furious man aboundeth in transgression.

23A man's pride shall bring him low: but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit.

24Whoso is partner with a thief hateth his own soul: he heareth cursing, and bewrayeth it not.

25The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe.

26Many seek the ruler's favour; but every man's judgment cometh from the LORD.

27An unjust man is an abomination to the just: and he that is upright in the way is abomination to the wicked.

1viro qui corripientem dura cervice contemnit repentinus superveniet interitus et eum sanitas non sequitur

2in multiplicatione iustorum laetabitur vulgus cum impii sumpserint principatum gemet populus

3vir qui amat sapientiam laetificat patrem suum qui autem nutrit scorta perdet substantiam

4rex iustus erigit terram vir avarus destruet eam

5homo qui blandis fictisque sermonibus loquitur amico suo rete expandit gressibus eius

6peccantem virum iniquum involvet laqueus et iustus laudabit atque gaudebit

7novit iustus causam pauperum impius ignorat scientiam

8homines pestilentes dissipant civitatem sapientes avertunt furorem

9vir sapiens si cum stulto contenderit sive irascatur sive rideat non inveniet requiem

10viri sanguinum oderunt simplicem iusti quaerunt animam eius

11totum spiritum suum profert stultus sapiens differt et reservat in posterum

12princeps qui libenter audit verba mendacii omnes ministros habebit impios

13pauper et creditor obviam fuerunt sibi utriusque inluminator est Dominus

14rex qui iudicat in veritate pauperes thronus eius in aeternum firmabitur

15virga atque correptio tribuet sapientiam puer autem qui dimittitur voluntati suae confundet matrem suam

16in multiplicatione impiorum multiplicabuntur scelera et iusti ruinas eorum videbunt

17erudi filium tuum et refrigerabit te et dabit delicias animae tuae

18cum prophetia defecerit dissipabitur populus qui custodit legem beatus est

19servus verbis non potest erudiri quia quod dicis intellegit et respondere contemnit

20vidisti hominem velocem ad loquendum stulti magis speranda est quam illius correptio

21qui delicate a pueritia nutrit servum suum postea illum sentiet contumacem

22vir iracundus provocat rixas et qui ad indignandum facilis est erit ad peccata proclivior

23superbum sequitur humilitas et humilem spiritu suscipiet gloria

24qui cum fure partitur odit animam suam adiurantem audit et non indicat

25qui timet hominem cito corruet qui sperat in Domino sublevabitur

26multi requirunt faciem principis et a Domino iudicium egreditur singulorum

27abominantur iusti virum impium et abominantur impii eos qui in recta sunt via
