| 29:1 | 人屡次受责罚，仍然硬着颈项，他必顷刻败坏，无法可治。 He, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy. | ||
| 29:2 | 义人增多，民就喜乐。恶人掌权，民就叹息。 When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn. | ||
| 29:3 | 爱慕智慧的，使父亲喜乐。与妓女结交的，却浪费钱财。 Whoso loveth wisdom rejoiceth his father: but he that keepeth company with harlots spendeth his substance. | ||
| 29:4 | 王藉公平，使国坚定。索要贿赂，使国倾败。 The king by judgment establisheth the land: but he that receiveth gifts overthroweth it. | ||
| 29:5 | 谄媚邻舍的，就是设网罗绊他的脚。 A man that flattereth his neighbour spreadeth a net for his feet. | ||
| 29:6 | 恶人犯罪，自陷网罗。惟独义人，欢呼喜乐。 In the transgression of an evil man there is a snare: but the righteous doth sing and rejoice. | ||
| 29:7 | 义人知道查明穷人的案。恶人没有聪明，就不得而知。 The righteous considereth the cause of the poor: but the wicked regardeth not to know it. | ||
| 29:8 | 亵慢人煽惑通城。智慧人止息众怒。 Scornful men bring a city into a snare: but wise men turn away wrath. | ||

| 29:12 | 君王若听谎言，他一切臣仆都是奸恶。 If a ruler hearken to lies, all his servants are wicked. | ||
| 29:13 | 贫穷人，强暴人，在世相遇，他们的眼目，都蒙耶和华光照。 The poor and the deceitful man meet together: the LORD lighteneth both their eyes. | ||
| 29:14 | 君王凭诚实判断穷人，他的国位，必永远坚立。 The king that faithfully judgeth the poor, his throne shall be established for ever. | ||
| 29:15 | 杖打和责备，能加增智慧。放纵的儿子，使母亲羞愧。 The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame. | ||
| 29:16 | 恶人加多，过犯也加多。义人必看见他们跌倒。 When the wicked are multiplied, transgression increaseth: but the righteous shall see their fall. | ||

| 29:21 | 人将仆人从小娇养，这仆人终久必成了他的儿子。 He that delicately bringeth up his servant from a child shall have him become his son at the length. | ||
| 29:22 | 好气的人，挑启争端。暴怒的人，多多犯罪。 An angry man stirreth up strife, and a furious man aboundeth in transgression. | ||
| 29:23 | 人的高傲，必使他卑下。心里谦逊的，必得尊荣。 A man's pride shall bring him low: but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit. | ||
| 29:24 | 人与盗贼分赃，是恨恶自己的性命。他听见叫人发誓的声音，却不言语。 Whoso is partner with a thief hateth his own soul: he heareth cursing, and bewrayeth it not. | ||
| 29:25 | 惧怕人的陷入网罗。惟有倚靠耶和华的，必得安稳。 The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe. | ||
| 29:26 | 求王恩的人多。定人事乃在耶和华。 Many seek the ruler's favour; but every man's judgment cometh from the LORD. | ||
| 29:27 | 为非作歹的，被义人憎嫌。行事正直的，被恶人憎恶。 An unjust man is an abomination to the just: and he that is upright in the way is abomination to the wicked. | ||
