He, that being often reprovedhardeneth his neck, shall suddenlybe destroyed, and that withoutremedy. When the righteousare in authority, the peoplerejoice: but when the wickedbeareth rule, the peoplemourn. Whosolovethwisdomrejoicethhis father: but he that keepeth companywith harlotsspendeth his substance. The kingby judgmentestablisheththe land: but hethat receiveth giftsoverthrowethit. A manthat flatterethhis neighborspreadetha netforhis feet. In the transgressionof an evilman there is a snare: but the righteousdoth singand rejoice. The righteousconsidereththe causeof the poor: but the wickedregardethnotto know it . Scornfulmenbring a city into a snare: but wise men turn awaywrath. If a wisemancontendethwitha foolishman, whether he rageor laugh, there is norest. The bloodthirstyhatethe upright: but the justseekhis soul. A foolutterethallhis mind: but a wise man keepethit in till afterwards. If a rulerhearkentolies, allhis servants are wicked. The poorand the deceitfulmanmeet together: the LORDlightenethboththeir eyes. The kingthat faithfullyjudgeththe poor, his throneshall be establishedforever. The rodand reproofgivewisdom: but a childleft to himself bringeth his motherto shame. When the wickedare multiplied, transgressionincreaseth: but the righteousshall seetheir fall. Correctthy son, and he shall give thee rest; yea, he shall givedelightunto thy soul. Where there is novision, the peopleperish: but he that keepeththe law, happy is he. A servantwill notbe correctedby words: for thoughhe understandhe will notanswer. Seestthou a man that is hastyin his words? there is more hopeof a foolthan ofhim. He that delicately bringeth uphis servantfrom a childshall have him become his sonat the length. An angrymanstirreth upstrife, and a furiousmanaboundethin transgression. A man's prideshall bring him low: but honorshall upholdthe humblein spirit. Whoso is partnerwitha thiefhatethhis own soul: he hearethcursing, and betrayeth it not. The fearof manbringetha snare: but whoso putteth his trustin the LORDshall be safe. Manyseekthe ruler's favor; but every man's judgment cometh from the LORD. An unjustman is an abominationto the just: and he that is uprightin the way is abominationto the wicked.
