 29:14 The king 4428 that faithfully 571 judgeth 8199 z8802 the poor, 1800 his throne 3678 shall be established 3559 z8735 for ever. 5703

 29:15 The rod 7626 and reproof 8433 give 5414 z8799 wisdom: 2451 but a child 5288 left 7971 z8794 [to himself] bringeth his mother 517 to shame. 954 z8688

 29:16 When the wicked 7563 are multiplied, 7235 z8800 transgression 6588 increaseth: 7235 z8799 but the righteous 6662 shall see 7200 z8799 their fall. 4658
