doth sing and rejoice.

their eyes.
29:14 The king that faithfully judgeth the poor, his throne shall be 
established for ever.

mother to shame.

righteous shall see their fall.
29:17 Correct thy son, and he shall give thee rest; yea, he shall give delight 
unto thy soul.

happy is he.
29:19 A servant will not be corrected by words: for though he understand he 
will not answer.

than of him.

become his son at the length.

transgression.

and bewrayeth it not.

shall be safe.

LORD.
29:27 An unjust man is an abomination to the just: and he that is upright in 
the way is abomination to the wicked.
