29:20 Help thy neighbour according to thy power, and beware that thou thyself fall not into the same. 29:21 The chief thing for life is water, and bread, and clothing, and an house to cover shame. 29:22 Better is the life of a poor man in a mean cottage, than delicate fare in another man’s house. 29:23 Be it little or much, hold thee contented, that thou hear not the reproach of thy house. 29:24 For it is a miserable life to go from house to house: for where thou art a stranger, thou darest not open thy mouth. 29:25 Thou shalt entertain, and feast, and have no thanks: moreover thou shalt hear bitter words: 29:26 Come, thou stranger, and furnish a table, and feed me of that thou hast ready. 29:27 Give place, thou stranger, to an honourable man; my brother cometh to be lodged, and I have need of mine house. 29:28 These things are grievous to a man of understanding; the upbraiding of houseroom, and reproaching of the lender. 30:1 He that loveth his son causeth him oft to feel the rod, that he may have joy of him in the end. 30:2 He that chastiseth his son shall have joy in him, and shall rejoice of him among his acquaintance. 30:3 He that teacheth his son grieveth the enemy: and before his friends he shall rejoice of him. 30:4 Though his father die, yet he is as though he were not dead: for he hath left one behind him that is like himself. 30:5 While he lived, he saw and rejoiced in him: and when he died, he was not sorrowful. 30:6 He left behind him an avenger against his enemies, and one that shall requite kindness to his friends. 30:7 He that maketh too much of his son shall bind up his wounds; and his bowels will be troubled at every cry. 30:8 An horse not broken becometh headstrong: and a child left to himself will be wilful. 30:9 Cocker thy child, and he shall make thee afraid: play with him, and he will bring thee to heaviness. 30:10 Laugh not with him, lest thou have sorrow with him, and lest thou gnash thy teeth in the end. 30:11 Give him no liberty in his youth, and wink not at his follies. 30:12 Bow down his neck while he is young, and beat him on the sides while he is a child, lest he wax stubborn, and be disobedient unto thee, and so bring sorrow to thine heart. 30:13 Chastise thy son, and hold him to labour, lest his lewd behaviour be an offence unto thee. 30:14 Better is the poor, being sound and strong of constitution, than a rich man that is afflicted in his body. 30:15 Health and good estate of body are above all gold, and a strong body above infinite wealth. 30:16 There is no riches above a sound body, and no joy above the joy of the heart. 30:17 Death is better than a bitter life or continual sickness. 30:18 Delicates poured upon a mouth shut up are as messes of meat set upon a grave. 30:19 What good doeth the offering unto an idol? for neither can it eat nor smell: so is he that is persecuted of the Lord. 30:20 He seeth with his eyes and groaneth, as an eunuch that embraceth a virgin and sigheth.
