|---|---|
| 1 | He that being often reproved hardeneth his neck Shall suddenly be broken, and that without remedy. |
| 2 | When the righteous are increased, the people rejoice; but when the wicked 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 neighbour 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 understandeth not knowledge. |
| 8 | Scornful men set a city in a blaze; But wise men turn away wrath. |
| 9 | If a wise man contendeth with a foolish man, Whether he be angry or laugh, there will be no rest. |
| 10 | The men of blood hate him that is sincere; And as for the upright, they seek his life. |
| 11 | A fool spendeth all his spirit; But a wise man stilleth it within him. |
| 12 | If a ruler hearkeneth to falsehood, All his servants are wicked. |
| 13 | The poor man and the oppressor meet together; The LORD giveth light to 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 gaze 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, there will be no response. |
| 20 | Seest thou a man that is hasty in his words? There is more hope for a fool than for him. |
| 21 | He that delicately bringeth up his servant from a child Shall have him become master 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 attain to honour. |
| 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 the LORD shall be set up on high. |
| 26 | Many seek the ruler’s favour; but a man’s judgment cometh from the LORD. |
| 27 | An unjust man is an abomination to the righteous; and he that is upright in the way is an abomination to the wicked. |
