[1] He that being often reproved hardeneth his neck
Shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy.
[2] When the righteous are increased, the people rejoice;
But when a wicked man beareth rule, the people sigh.
[3] Whoso loveth wisdom rejoiceth his father;
But he that keepeth company with harlots wasteth his substance.
[4] The king by justice establisheth the land;
But he that exacteth gifts overthroweth it.
[5] A man that flattereth his neighbor
Spreadeth a net for his steps.
[6] In the transgression of an evil man there is a snare;
But the righteous doth sing and rejoice.
[7] The righteous taketh knowledge of the cause of the poor;
The wicked hath not understanding to know it.
[8] Scoffers set a city in a flame;
But wise men turn away wrath.
[9] If a wise man hath a controversy with a foolish man,
Whether he be angry or laugh, there will be no rest.
[10] The bloodthirsty hate him that is perfect;
And as for the upright, they seek his life.
[11] A fool uttereth all his anger;
But a wise man keepeth it back and stilleth it.
[12] If a ruler hearkeneth to falsehood,
All his servants are wicked.
[13] The poor man and the oppressor meet together;
Jehovah lighteneth the eyes of them both.
[14] The king that faithfully judgeth the poor,
His throne shall be established for ever.
[15] The rod and reproof give wisdom;
But a child left to himself causeth shame to his mother.
[16] When the wicked are increased, transgression increaseth;
But the righteous shall look upon their fall.
[17] Correct thy son, and he will give thee rest;
Yea, he will give delight unto thy soul.
[18] Where there is no vision, the people cast off restraint;
But he that keepeth the law, happy is he.
[19] A servant will not be corrected by words;
For though he understand, he will not give heed.
[20] Seest thou a man that is hasty in his words?
There is more hope of a fool than of him.
[21] He that delicately bringeth up his servant from a child
Shall have him become a son at the last.
[22] An angry man stirreth up strife,
And a wrathful man aboundeth in transgression.
[23] A man’s pride shall bring him low;
But he that is of a lowly spirit shall obtain honor.
[24] Whoso is partner with a thief hateth his own soul;
He heareth the adjuration and uttereth nothing.
[25] The fear of man bringeth a snare;
But whoso putteth his trust in Jehovah shall be safe.
[26] Many seek the ruler’s favor;
But a man’s judgment cometh from Jehovah.
[27] An unjust man is an abomination to the righteous;
And he that is upright in the way is an abomination to the wicked.
