Proverbs 29
[1] He, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be
destroyed, and that without remedy. [2] When the righteous are in
authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people
mourn. [3] Whoso loveth wisdom rejoiceth his father: but he that keepeth
company with harlots spendeth his substance. [4] The king by judgment
establisheth the land: but he that receiveth gifts overthroweth it.
[5] A man that flattereth his neighbour spreadeth a net for his feet. [6]
In the transgression of an evil man there is a snare: but the righteous
doth sing and rejoice.
[7] The righteous considereth the cause of the poor: but the wicked
regardeth not to know it.
[8] Scornful men bring a city into a snare: but wise men turn away wrath.
[9] If a wise man contendeth with a foolish man, whether he rage or laugh,
there is no rest.
[10] The bloodthirsty hate the upright: but the just seek his soul. [11] A
fool uttereth all his mind: but a wise man keepeth it in till afterwards.
[12] If a ruler hearken to lies, all his servants are wicked. [13] The poor
and the deceitful man meet together: the LORD lighteneth both their eyes.
[14] The king that faithfully judgeth the poor, his throne shall be
established for ever.
[15] The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself bringeth
his mother to shame.
[16] When the wicked are multiplied, transgression increaseth: but the
righteous shall see their fall.
[17] Correct thy son, and he shall give thee rest; yea, he shall give
delight unto thy soul.
[18] Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the
law, happy is he.
[19] A servant will not be corrected by words: for though he understand he
will not answer.
[20] Seest thou a man that is hasty in his words? there is more hope of a
fool than of him.
[21] He that delicately bringeth up his servant from a child shall have him
become his son at the length.
[22] An angry man stirreth up strife, and a furious man aboundeth in transgression.
[23] A man's pride shall bring him low: but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit.
[24] Whoso is partner with a thief hateth his own soul: he heareth cursing,
and bewrayeth it not.
[25] The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the
LORD shall be safe.
[26] Many seek the ruler's favour; but every man's judgment cometh from the LORD.
[27] An unjust man is an abomination to the just: and he that is upright in
the way is abomination to the wicked.

Proverbs 30
[1] The words of Agur the son of Jakeh, even the prophecy: the man spake
unto Ithiel, even unto Ithiel and Ucal, [2] Surely I am more brutish than
any man, and have not the understanding of a man.
[3] I neither learned wisdom, nor have the knowledge of the holy. [4] Who
hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in
his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all
the ends of the earth? what is his name, and what is his son's name, if
thou canst tell?
[5] Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.
[6] Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.
[7] Two things have I required of thee; deny me them not before I die: [8]
Remove far from me vanity and lies: give me neither poverty nor riches;
feed me with food convenient for me: [9] Lest I be full, and deny thee, and
say, Who is the LORD? or lest I be poor, and steal, and take the name of my
God in vain. [10] Accuse not a servant unto his master, lest he curse thee,
and thou be found guilty.
[11] There is a generation that curseth their father, and doth not bless
their mother.
[12] There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet is not
washed from their filthiness.
[13] There is a generation, O how lofty are their eyes! and their eyelids
are lifted up.
[14] There is a generation, whose teeth are as swords, and their jaw teeth
as knives, to devour the poor from off the earth, and the needy from among
men.
[15] The horseleach hath two daughters, crying, Give, give. There are three
things that are never satisfied, yea, four things say not, It is enough:
[16] The grave; and the barren womb; the earth that is not filled with
water; and the fire that saith not, It is enough. [17] The eye that mocketh
at his father, and despiseth to obey his mother, the ravens of the valley
shall pick it out, and the young eagles shall eat it.
[18] There be three things which are too wonderful for me, yea, four which
I know not:
[19] The way of an eagle in the air; the way of a serpent upon a rock; the
way of a ship in the midst of the sea; and the way of a man with a maid.
[20] Such is the way of an adulterous woman; she eateth, and wipeth her
mouth, and saith, I have done no wickedness. [21] For three things the
earth is disquieted, and for four which it cannot bear:
[22] For a servant when he reigneth; and a fool when he is filled with
meat; [23] For an odious woman when she is married; and an handmaid that is
heir to her mistress.
[24] There be four things which are little upon the earth, but they are
exceeding wise:
[25] The ants are a people not strong, yet they prepare their meat in the summer;
[26] The conies are but a feeble folk, yet make they their houses in the rocks;
[27] The locusts have no king, yet go they forth all of them by bands; [28]
The spider taketh hold with her hands, and is in kings' palaces. [29] There
be three things which go well, yea, four are comely in going: [30] A lion
which is strongest among beasts, and turneth not away for any; [31] A
greyhound; an he goat also; and a king, against whom there is no rising up.
[32] If thou hast done foolishly in lifting up thyself, or if thou hast
thought evil, lay thine hand upon thy mouth. [33] Surely the churning of
milk bringeth forth butter, and the wringing of the nose bringeth forth
blood: so the forcing of wrath bringeth forth strife.

Proverbs 31
[1] The words of king Lemuel, the prophecy that his mother taught him. [2]
What, my son? and what, the son of my womb? and what, the son of my vows?
[3] Give not thy strength unto women, nor thy ways to that which destroyeth kings.
[4] It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine; nor
for princes strong drink:
[5] Lest they drink, and forget the law, and pervert the judgment of any of
the afflicted.
[6] Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, and wine unto those
that be of heavy hearts.
[7] Let him drink, and forget his poverty, and remember his misery no more.
[8] Open thy mouth for the dumb in the cause of all such as are appointed
to destruction.
[9] Open thy mouth, judge righteously, and plead the cause of the poor and needy.
[10] Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies. [11]
The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no
need of spoil.
[12] She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life. [13] She
seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands. [14] She is
like the merchants' ships; she bringeth her food from afar. [15] She riseth
also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household, and a portion
to her maidens. [16] She considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit
of her hands she planteth a vineyard.
[17] She girdeth her loins with strength, and strengtheneth her arms. [18]
She perceiveth that her merchandise is good: her candle goeth not out by
night.
[19] She layeth her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff.
[20] She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; yea, she reacheth forth her
hands to the needy.
[21] She is not afraid of the snow for her household: for all her household
are clothed with scarlet.
[22] She maketh herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing is silk and purple.
[23] Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the land.
[24] She maketh fine linen, and selleth it; and delivereth girdles unto the merchant.
[25] Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come.
[26] She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness.
[27] She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the
bread of idleness.
[28] Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he
praiseth her.
[29] Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all. [30]
Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the LORD,
she shall be praised.
[31] Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her
in the gates.
