Book of Proverbs, chapter 29
[+ See end of article for insights, sources, and photo.]
Start reading the book of Proverbs, in the Old Testament, with your children and neighbors. Read and discuss one complete chapter, or half a chapter, every week. Juro GD Kne?i? (London, Canada. N5Z3S9)
Book of Proverbs, chapter 29
29 If you get more stubborn every time you are corrected, one day you will be crushed and never recover. [Or, be thankful when your teachers correct you. Dido Juro]
2 Show me a righteous ruler and I will show you a happy people. Show me a wicked ruler and I will show you a miserable people.
3 If you appreciate wisdom, your parents will be proud of you.
It is a foolish waste to spend money on prostitutes.
4 When the king is concerned with justice, the nation will be strong, but when he is only concerned with money, he will ruin his country.
5 If you flatter your friends, you set a trap for yourself.[a]
6 Evil people are trapped in their own sins, while honest people are happy and free.
7 A good person knows the rights of the poor, but wicked people cannot understand such things.
8 People with no regard for others can throw whole cities into turmoil. Those who are wise keep things calm. [Hello Americans in 2018! Juro]
9 When an intelligent person brings a lawsuit against a fool, the fool only laughs and becomes loud and abusive.
10 Bloodthirsty people hate anyone who's honest, but righteous people will protect[b] the life of such a person.
11 Stupid people express their anger openly, but sensible people are patient and hold it back.
12 If a ruler pays attention to false information, all his officials will be liars.
13 A poor person and his oppressor have this in common—the Lord gave eyes to both of them.
14 If a king defends the rights of the poor, he will rule for a long time.
15 Correction and discipline are good for children. If they have their own way, they will make their mothers ashamed of them.
16 When evil people are in power, crime increases. But the righteous will live to see the downfall of such people.
17 Discipline your children and you can always be proud of them. They will never give you reason to be ashamed.
18 A nation without God's guidance is a nation without order. Happy are those who keep God's law! [This is before our eyes in America, today (2018-2020). Dido Juro]
19 You cannot correct servants just by talking to them. They may understand you, but they will pay no attention.
20 There is more hope for a stupid fool than for someone who speaks without thinking.
21 If you give your servants everything they want from childhood on, some day they will take over everything you own.[c]
22 People with quick tempers cause a lot of quarreling and trouble.
23 Arrogance will bring your downfall, but if you are humble, you will be respected.
24 A thief's partner is his own worst enemy. He will be punished if he tells the truth in court, and God will curse him if he doesn't.
25 It is dangerous to be concerned with what others think of you, but if you trust the Lord, you are safe.
26 Everybody wants the good will of the ruler, but only from the Lord can you get justice.
27 The righteous hate the wicked, and the wicked hate the righteous.

= Proverbi 29
29 L’uomo che, dopo essere stato spesso ripreso, irrigidisce il collo, sarà abbattuto all’improvviso e senza rimedio.
2 Quando i giusti sono numerosi il popolo si rallegra, ma quando domina l’empio il popolo geme.
3 L’uomo che ama la saggezza rallegra suo padre, ma chi frequenta le prostitute dilapida i suoi beni.
4 Il re, con la giustizia, rende stabile il paese, ma l’uomo che fa estorsioni lo rovina[a].
5 L’uomo che lusinga il prossimo gli tende una rete davanti ai piedi.
6 Nel misfatto del malvagio c’è un’insidia, ma il giusto canta e si rallegra.
7 Il giusto prende conoscenza della causa dei deboli, ma l’empio non ha intendimento né conoscenza.
8 I beffardi soffiano nel fuoco delle discordie cittadine, ma i saggi calmano le ire.
9 Se un saggio viene a contesa con uno stolto, quello va in collera o ride, e non c’è da intendersi.
10 Gli uomini sanguinari odiano chi è integro, ma gli uomini retti proteggono la sua vita.
11 Lo stolto dà sfogo a tutta la sua ira, ma il saggio trattiene la propria.
12 Quando il sovrano dà retta alle parole bugiarde, tutti i suoi ministri sono malvagi.
13 Il povero e l’oppressore si incontrano; il Signore illumina gli occhi di entrambi.
14 Il re che fa giustizia ai deboli secondo verità, avrà il trono stabile per sempre.
15 La verga e la riprensione danno saggezza, ma il ragazzo lasciato a se stesso fa vergogna a sua madre.
16 Quando abbondano gli empi, abbondano le trasgressioni, ma i giusti ne vedranno la rovina.
17 Correggi tuo figlio; egli ti darà conforto e procurerà gioia al tuo cuore.
18 Se il popolo non ha rivelazione è senza freno; ma beato colui che osserva la legge!
19 Uno schiavo non si corregge a parole; anche se comprende, non ubbidisce.
20 Hai mai visto un uomo precipitoso nel parlare? C’è più da sperare da uno stolto che da lui.
21 Se uno alleva delicatamente da bambino il suo schiavo, questo finirà per credersi figlio.
22 L’uomo collerico fa nascere contese, e l’uomo furioso commette molte trasgressioni.
23 L’orgoglio abbassa l’uomo, ma chi è umile di spirito ottiene gloria.
24 Chi fa società con il ladro odia se stesso; egli ode la maledizione e non dice nulla.
25 La paura degli uomini è una trappola, ma chi confida nel Signore è al sicuro.
26 Molti cercano il favore del principe, ma il Signore fa giustizia a ognuno.
27 L’uomo iniquo è un abominio per i giusti, e colui che cammina rettamente è un abominio per gli empi.
