1
He, that being often reprovedH8433 hardensH7185 his neck,H6203 shall suddenlyH6621 be destroyed,H7665 and that withoutH369 remedy.H4832
2
When the righteousH6662 are in authority,H7235 the peopleH5971 rejoice:H8055 but when the wickedH7563 bearsH4910 rule,H4910 the peopleH5971 mourn.H584
3
Whoever lovesH157 wisdomH2451 rejoicesH8055 his father:H1 but he that keeps companyH7462 with harlotsH2181 spendsH6 his substance.H1952
4
The kingH4428 by judgmentH4941 establishesH5975 the land:H776 but he that receives giftsH8641 overthrowsH2040 it.
5
A manH1397 that flattersH2505 his neighborH7453 spreadsH6566 a netH7568 for his feet.H6471
6
In the transgressionH6588 of an evilH7451 manH376 there is a snare:H4170 but the righteousH6662 does singH7442 and rejoice.H8055
7
The righteousH6662 considersH3045 the causeH1779 of the poor:H1800 but the wickedH7563 regardsH995 not to knowH1847 it.
8
ScornfulH3944 menH582 bringH6315 a cityH7151 into a snare:H6315 but wiseH2450 men turnH7725 away wrath.H639
9
If a wiseH2450 manH376 contendsH8199 with a foolishH191 man,H376 whether he rageH7264 or laugh,H7832 there is noH369 rest.H5183
10
The bloodthirstyH582 H1818 hateH8130 the upright:H8535 but the justH3477 seekH1245 his soul.H5315
11
A foolH3684 uttersH3318 allH3605 his mind:H7307 but a wiseH2450 man keepsH7623 it in till afterwards.H268
12
If a rulerH4910 listenH7181 to lies,H1697 H8267 allH3605 his servantsH8334 are wicked.H7563
13
The poorH7326 and the deceitfulH8501 manH376 meetH6298 together: the LORDH3068 lightensH215 bothH8147 their eyes.H5869
14
The kingH4428 that faithfullyH571 judgesH8199 the poor,H1800 his throneH3678 shall be establishedH3559 for ever.H5703
15
The rodH7626 and reproofH8433 giveH5414 wisdom:H2451 but a childH5288 leftH7971 to himself brings his motherH517 to shame.H954
16
When the wickedH7563 are multiplied,H7235 transgressionH6588 increases:H7235 but the righteousH6662 shall seeH7200 their fall.H4658
17
CorrectH3256 your son,H1121 and he shall give you rest;H5117 yes, he shall giveH5414 delightH4574 to your soul.H5315
18
Where there is noH369 vision,H2377 the peopleH5971 perish:H6544 but he that keepsH8104 the law,H8451 happyH835 is he.
19
A servantH5650 will not be correctedH3256 by words:H1697 for though he understandH995 he will not answer.H4617
20
SeeH2372 you a manH376 that is hastyH213 in his words?H1697 there is more hopeH8615 of a foolH3684 than of him.
21
He that delicatelyH6445 bringsH6445 up his servantH5650 from a childH5290 shall have him becomeH1961 his sonH4497 at the length.H319
22
An angryH639 manH376 stirsH1624 up strife,H4066 and a furiousH2534 manH1167 aboundsH7227 in transgression.H6588
23
A man'sH120 prideH1346 shall bringH8213 him low:H8213 but honorH3519 shall upholdH8551 the humbleH8217 in spirit.H7307
24
Whoever is partnerH2505 with a thiefH1590 hatesH8130 his own soul:H5315 he hearsH8085 cursing,H423 and denudesH5046 it not.
25
The fearH2731 of manH120 bringsH5414 a snare:H4170 but whoever puts his trustH982 in the LORDH3068 shall be safe.H7682
26
ManyH7227 seekH1245 the ruler'sH4910 favor;H6440 but every man'sH376 judgmentH4941 comes from the LORD.H3068
27
An unjustH5766 manH376 is an abominationH8441 to the just:H6662 and he that is uprightH3477 in the wayH1870 is abominationH8441 to the wicked.H7563
