Part 31

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.

20:030:004 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?

20:030:005 Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.

20:030:006 Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.

20:030:007 Two things have I required of thee; deny me them not before I die:

20:030:008 Remove far from me vanity and lies: give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with food convenient for me:

20:030:009 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.

20:030:010 Accuse not a servant unto his master, lest he curse thee, and thou be found guilty.

20:030:011 There is a generation that curseth their father, and doth not bless their mother.

20:030:012 There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet is not washed from their filthiness.

20:030:013 There is a generation, O how lofty are their eyes! and their eyelids are lifted up.

20:030:014 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.

20:030:015 The horseleach hath two daughters, crying, Give, give. There are three things that are never satisfied, yea, four things say not, It is enough:
