Orðskviðirnir 29
Icelandic Bible
29 Sá sem oftlega hefir ávítaður verið, en þverskallast þó, mun skyndilega knosaður verða, og engin lækning fást.
2 Þegar réttlátum fjölgar, gleðst þjóðin, en þegar óguðlegir drottna, andvarpar þjóðin.
3 Sá sem elskar visku, gleður föður sinn, en sá sem leggur lag sitt við skækjur, glatar eigum sínum.
4 Konungurinn eflir landið með rétti, en sá sem þiggur mútur, eyðir það.
5 Sá maður, sem smjaðrar fyrir náunga sínum, hann leggur net fyrir fætur hans.
6 Í misgjörð vonds manns er fólgin snara, en réttlátur maður fagnar og gleðst.
7 Réttlátur maður kynnir sér málefni hinna lítilmótlegu, en óguðlegur maður hirðir ekkert um að kynna sér það.
8 Spottarar æsa upp borgina, en vitrir menn lægja reiðina.
9 Þegar vitur maður á í þrætumáli við afglapa, þá reiðist hann og hlær, en hvíld fæst engin.
10 Blóðvargarnir hata hinn ráðvanda, en réttvísir menn láta sér annt um líf hans.
11 Heimskinginn úthellir allri reiði sinni, en vitur maður sefar hana að lokum.
12 Þegar drottnarinn hlýðir á lygaorð, verða allir þjónar hans bófar.
13 Fátæklingurinn og kúgarinn mætast, Drottinn ljær ljós augum beggja.
14 Sá konungur, sem dæmir hina lítilmótlegu með réttvísi, hásæti hans mun stöðugt standa að eilífu.
15 Vöndur og umvöndun veita speki, en agalaus sveinn gjörir móður sinni skömm.
16 Þegar óguðlegum fjölgar, fjölgar og misgjörðum, en réttlátir munu horfa á fall þeirra.
17 Aga þú son þinn, þá mun hann láta þig hafa ró og veita unað sálu þinni.
18 Þar sem engar vitranir eru, kemst fólkið á glapstigu, en sá sem varðveitir lögmálið, er sæll.
19 Þræll verður eigi agaður með orðum, því að hann skilur þau að vísu, en fer ekki eftir þeim.
20 Sjáir þú mann, sem er fljótfær í orðum, þá er meiri von um heimskingja en hann.
21 Dekri maður við þræl sinn frá barnæsku, vill hann að lokum verða ungherra.
22 Reiðigjarn maður vekur deilur, og bráðlyndur maður drýgir marga synd.
23 Hroki mannsins lægir hann, en hinn lítilláti mun virðing hljóta.
24 Þjófsnauturinn hatar líf sitt, hann hlýðir á bölvunina, en segir þó ekki frá.
25 Ótti við menn leiðir í snöru, en þeim er borgið, sem treystir Drottni.
26 Margir leita hylli drottnarans, en réttur mannsins kemur frá Drottni.
27 Andstyggð réttlátra er sá, sem ranglæti fremur, og andstyggð óguðlegra sá, sem ráðvandlega breytir.
Proverbs 29
New International Version
29 Whoever remains stiff-necked(A) after many rebukes
will suddenly be destroyed(B)—without remedy.(C)
3 A man who loves wisdom brings joy to his father,(G)
but a companion of prostitutes squanders his wealth.(H)
4 By justice a king gives a country stability,(I)
but those who are greedy for[a] bribes tear it down.
5 Those who flatter their neighbors
are spreading nets for their feet.(J)
6 Evildoers are snared by their own sin,(K)
but the righteous shout for joy and are glad.
7 The righteous care about justice for the poor,(L)
but the wicked have no such concern.
8 Mockers stir up a city,
but the wise turn away anger.(M)
9 If a wise person goes to court with a fool,
the fool rages and scoffs, and there is no peace.
10 The bloodthirsty hate a person of integrity
and seek to kill the upright.(N)
13 The poor and the oppressor have this in common:
The Lord gives sight to the eyes of both.(S)
14 If a king judges the poor with fairness,
his throne will be established forever.(T)
15 A rod and a reprimand impart wisdom,
but a child left undisciplined disgraces its mother.(U)
16 When the wicked thrive, so does sin,
but the righteous will see their downfall.(V)
17 Discipline your children, and they will give you peace;
they will bring you the delights you desire.(W)
18 Where there is no revelation, people cast off restraint;
but blessed is the one who heeds wisdom’s instruction.(X)
19 Servants cannot be corrected by mere words;
though they understand, they will not respond.
20 Do you see someone who speaks in haste?
There is more hope for a fool than for them.(Y)
21 A servant pampered from youth
will turn out to be insolent.
22 An angry person stirs up conflict,
and a hot-tempered person commits many sins.(Z)
24 The accomplices of thieves are their own enemies;
they are put under oath and dare not testify.(AC)
27 The righteous detest the dishonest;
the wicked detest the upright.(AI)

Proverbs 29

9 If a wise man contendeth with a foolish man, whether he rage or laugh, there is no rest.

13 The poor and the deceitful man meet together: the Lord lighteneth both their eyes.
