He, that being often reproved
hardeneth
his neck
, shall suddenly
be destroyed
, and that without remedy
.
When the righteous are in authority
, the people
rejoice
: but when the wicked
beareth rule
, the people
mourn
.
Whoso loveth
wisdom
rejoiceth
his father
: but he that keepeth company
with harlots
spendeth
his substance
.
The king by judgment
establisheth
the land
: but he
that receiveth gifts
overthroweth
it.
A man that flattereth
his neighbour
spreadeth
a net
for his feet
.
In the transgression of an evil
man
there is a snare
: but the righteous
doth sing
and rejoice
.
The righteous considereth
the cause
of the poor
: but the wicked
regardeth
not to know
it .
Scornful men
bring
a city
into a snare
: but wise
men turn away
wrath
.
If a wise man
contendeth
with a foolish
man
, whether he rage
or laugh
, there is no rest
.
The bloodthirsty hate
the upright
: but the just
seek
his soul
.
A fool uttereth
all his mind
: but a wise
man keepeth
it in till afterwards
.
If a ruler hearken
to lies
, all his servants
are wicked
.
The poor and the deceitful
man
meet together
: the LORD
lighteneth
both
their eyes
.
The king that faithfully
judgeth
the poor
, his throne
shall be established
for ever
.
The rod and reproof
give
wisdom
: but a child
left
to himself bringeth his mother
to shame
.
When the wicked are multiplied
, transgression
increaseth
: but the righteous
shall see
their fall
.
Correct thy son
, and he shall give thee rest
; yea, he shall give
delight
unto thy soul
.
Where there is no vision, the people
perish
: but he that keepeth
the law
, happy
is he.
A servant will not be corrected
by words
: for though he understand
he will not answer
.
Seest thou a man
that is hasty
in his words
? there is more hope
of a fool
than of him.
He that delicately bringeth up his servant
from a child
shall have him become his son
at the length
.
An angry man
stirreth up
strife
, and a furious
man
aboundeth in
transgression
.
A man's pride
shall bring him low
: but honour
shall uphold
the humble
in spirit
.
Whoso is partner with a thief
hateth
his own soul
: he heareth
cursing
, and bewrayeth
it not.
The fear of man
bringeth
a snare
: but whoso putteth his trust
in the LORD
shall be safe
.
Many seek
the ruler's
favour
; but every man's
judgment
cometh from the LORD
.
An unjust man
is an abomination
to the just
: and he that is upright
in the way
is abomination
to the wicked
.
