1He376, that being often reproved8433 hardeneth7185 his neck6203, shall suddenly6621 be destroyed7665, and that without remedy4832.
2When the righteous6662 are in authority7235, the people5971 rejoice8055: but when the wicked7563 beareth rule4910, the people5971 mourn584.
3Whoso376 loveth157 wisdom2451 rejoiceth8055 his father1: but he that keepeth company7462 with harlots2181 spendeth6 his substance1952.
4The king4428 by judgment4941 establisheth5975 the land776: but he376 that receiveth gifts8641 overthroweth2040 it.
5A man1397 that flattereth2505 his neighbour7453 spreadeth6566 a net7568 for his feet6471.
6In the transgression6588 of an evil7451 man376 there is a snare4170: but the righteous6662 doth sing7442 and rejoice8056.
7The righteous6662 considereth3045 the cause1779 of the poor1800: but the wicked7563 regardeth995 not to know1847 it.
8Scornful3944 men582 bring6315 a city7151 into a snare6315: but wise2450 men turn away7725 wrath639.
9If a wise2450 man376 contendeth8199 with a foolish191 man376, whether he rage7264 or laugh7832, there is no rest5183.
10The bloodthirsty582 1818 hate8130 the upright8535: but the just3477 seek1245 his soul5315.
11A fool3684 uttereth3318 all his mind7307: but a wise2450 man keepeth7623 it in till afterwards268.
12If a ruler4910 hearken7181 to lies1697 8267, all his servants8334 are wicked7563.
13The poor7326 and the deceitful8501 man376 meet together6298: the LORD3068 lighteneth215 both8147 their eyes5869.
14The king4428 that faithfully571 judgeth8199 the poor1800, his throne3678 shall be established3559 for ever5703.
15The rod7626 and reproof8433 give5414 wisdom2451: but a child5288 left7971 to himself bringeth his mother517 to shame954.
16When the wicked7563 are multiplied7235, transgression6588 increaseth7235: but the righteous6662 shall see7200 their fall4658.
17Correct3256 thy son1121, and he shall give thee rest5117; yea, he shall give5414 delight4574 unto thy soul5315.
18Where there is no vision2377, the people5971 perish6544: but he that keepeth8104 the law8451, happy835 is he.
19A servant5650 will not be corrected3256 by words1697: for though he understand995 he will not answer4617.
20Seest2372 thou a man376 that is hasty213 in his words1697? there is more hope8615 of a fool3684 than of him.
21He that delicately bringeth up6445 his servant5650 from a child5290 shall have him become his son4497 at the length319.
22An angry639 man376 stirreth up1624 strife4066, and a furious2534 man1167 aboundeth in7227 transgression6588.
23A man's120 pride1346 shall bring him low8213: but honour3519 shall uphold8551 the humble8217 in spirit7307.
24Whoso is partner2505 with a thief1590 hateth8130 his own soul5315: he heareth8085 cursing423, and bewrayeth5046 it not.
25The fear2731 of man120 bringeth5414 a snare4170: but whoso putteth his trust982 in the LORD3068 shall be safe7682.
26Many7227 seek1245 the ruler's4910 favour6440; but every man's376 judgment4941 cometh from the LORD3068.
27An unjust5766 man376 is an abomination8441 to the just6662: and he that is upright3477 in the way1870 is abomination8441 to the wicked7563.
