[there is] more hope of a fool than of him. 21He that delicately bringeth up his servant from a child shall have him at length become [his] son. 22An angry man stirreth up strife, and a furious man aboundeth in transgression. 23A man's pride shall bring him low: but honor shall uphold the humble in spirit. 24Whoever is partner with a thief, hateth his own soul: he heareth cursing, and discloseth [it] not. 25The fear of man bringeth a snare: but he who putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe. 26Many seek the ruler's favor; but [every] man's judgment [cometh] from the LORD. 27An unjust man [is] an abomination to the just: and [he that is] upright in the way [is] abomination to the wicked. ‹Previous chapterProverbs 28Next chapterProverbs 30›Similar passagesBy tradition and source labelFind similarCompare selectedCompare with similarAsk Deep ThoughtSelect passages to search for parallels.VersionsProverbs 29 across 9 versionsShow all 9WEB - World English BibleKJV - King James VersionASV - American Standard VersionDarby - Darby BibleYLT - Young's Literal TranslationWebster - Webster BibleGeneva - Geneva BibleDouay - Douay-Rheims ChallonerRV1909 - Reina-Valera 1909Tap any verse to select it, then compare selected passages or ask Deep Thought.
