As churchpeople, we sometimes assume that we are immune to the temptations of power. We don't make much money. Society gives us so little power that we think ambition – the drive to succeed, achieve and have prestige and influence over others – is a problem only for people in business or politics, not for people like us. We thus sometimes fail to see how we get caught up, for the very noblest of reasons, in the same ambitions that motivate everybody. Eventually, the people climbing to the top of the body of Christ can look just like those scrambling to the top of General Motors. Often you can't tell much difference between our leaders and those of the gentiles.

29:1 viro qui corripientem dura cervice contemnit repentinus superveniet interitus et eum sanitas non sequitur

29:2 in multiplicatione iustorum laetabitur vulgus cum impii sumpserint principatum gemet populus

29:3 vir qui amat sapientiam laetificat patrem suum qui autem nutrit scorta perdet substantiam

29:4 rex iustus erigit terram vir avarus destruet eam

29:5 homo qui blandis fictisque sermonibus loquitur amico suo rete expandit gressibus eius

29:6 peccantem virum iniquum involvet laqueus et iustus laudabit atque gaudebit

29:7 novit iustus causam pauperum impius ignorat scientiam

29:8 homines pestilentes dissipant civitatem sapientes avertunt furorem

29:9 vir sapiens si cum stulto contenderit sive irascatur sive rideat non inveniet requiem

29:10 viri sanguinum oderunt simplicem iusti quaerunt animam eius

29:11 totum spiritum suum profert stultus sapiens differt et reservat in posterum

29:12 princeps qui libenter audit verba mendacii omnes ministros habebit impios

29:13 pauper et creditor obviam fuerunt sibi utriusque inluminator est Dominus

29:14 rex qui iudicat in veritate pauperes thronus eius in aeternum firmabitur

29:15 virga atque correptio tribuet sapientiam puer autem qui dimittitur voluntati suae confundet matrem suam

29:16 in multiplicatione impiorum multiplicabuntur scelera et iusti ruinas eorum videbunt

29:17 erudi filium tuum et refrigerabit te et dabit delicias animae tuae

29:18 cum prophetia defecerit dissipabitur populus qui custodit legem beatus est

29:19 servus verbis non potest erudiri quia quod dicis intellegit et respondere contemnit

29:20 vidisti hominem velocem ad loquendum stulti magis speranda est quam illius correptio

29:21 qui delicate a pueritia nutrit servum suum postea illum sentiet contumacem

29:22 vir iracundus provocat rixas et qui ad indignandum facilis est erit ad peccata proclivior

29:23 superbum sequitur humilitas et humilem spiritu suscipiet gloria

29:24 qui cum fure partitur odit animam suam adiurantem audit et non indicat

29:25 qui timet hominem cito corruet qui sperat in Domino sublevabitur

29:26 multi requirunt faciem principis et a Domino iudicium egreditur singulorum

29:27 abominantur iusti virum impium et abominantur impii eos qui in recta sunt via
