Bible. Proverbs
20:029:005 A man that flattereth his neighbour spreadeth a net for his
feet.
20:029:006 In the transgression of an evil man there is a snare: but the
righteous doth sing and rejoice.
20:029:007 The righteous considereth the cause of the poor: but the
wicked regardeth not to know it.
20:029:008 Scornful men bring a city into a snare: but wise men turn away
wrath.
20:029:009 If a wise man contendeth with a foolish man, whether he rage
or laugh, there is no rest.
20:029:010 The bloodthirsty hate the upright: but the just seek his soul.
20:029:011 A fool uttereth all his mind: but a wise man keepeth it in
till afterwards.
20:029:012 If a ruler hearken to lies, all his servants are wicked.
20:029:013 The poor and the deceitful man meet together: the LORD
lighteneth both their eyes.
20:029:014 The king that faithfully judgeth the poor, his throne shall be
established for ever.
20:029:015 The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself
bringeth his mother to shame.
20:029:016 When the wicked are multiplied, transgression increaseth: but
the righteous shall see their fall.
20:029:017 Correct thy son, and he shall give thee rest; yea, he shall
give delight unto thy soul.
20:029:018 Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that
keepeth the law, happy is he.
20:029:019 A servant will not be corrected by words: for though he
understand he will not answer.
20:029:020 Seest thou a man that is hasty in his words? there is more
hope of a fool than of him.
20:029:021 He that delicately bringeth up his servant from a child shall
have him become his son at the length.
20:029:022 An angry man stirreth up strife, and a furious man aboundeth
in transgression.
20:029:023 A man's pride shall bring him low: but honour shall uphold the
humble in spirit.
20:029:024 Whoso is partner with a thief hateth his own soul: he heareth
cursing, and bewrayeth it not.
20:029:025 The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust
in the LORD shall be safe.
20:029:026 Many seek the ruler's favour; but every man's judgment cometh
from the LORD.
20:029:027 An unjust man is an abomination to the just: and he that is
upright in the way is abomination to the wicked.
20:030:001 The words of Agur the son of Jakeh, even the prophecy: the man
spake unto Ithiel, even unto Ithiel and Ucal,
20:030:002 Surely I am more brutish than any man, and have not the
understanding of a man.
20:030:003 I neither learned wisdom, nor have the knowledge of the holy.
