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 rulers favour; but [every] mans g judgment [cometh] from the LORD. (g) He does not need to flatter the ruler, for what God has appointed will come to him.
