Proverbs 29
29:5 A man that flattereth his neighbour ^a spreadeth a net for his feet.

(a) He who gives ear to the flatterer is in danger as the bird is before the fowler.

29:6 In the transgression of an evil man [there is] a ^b snare: but the righteous doth sing and rejoice.

(b) He is always ready to fall into the snare that he lays for others.

29:9 [If] a wise man contendeth with ^c a foolish man, whether he rageth or laugheth, [there is] no rest.

(c) He can hear no admonition no matter how it is spoken.

29:18 ^d Where [there is] no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy [is] he.

(d) Where there are not faithful ministers of the word of God.

29:19 A ^e servant will not be corrected by words: for though he understandeth he will not answer.

(e) He who is of a servile and rebellious nature.

29:25 The fear of man bringeth a ^f snare: but he who putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe.

(f) He who fears man more than God falls into a snare and is destroyed.

29:26 Many seek the ruler's favour; but [every] man's ^g judgment [cometh] from the LORD.

(g) He does not need to flatter the ruler, for what God has appointed will come to him.
