The king by judgment establisheth the land: but he that receiveth gifts overthroweth it.
*Judgment* — By the free and impartial exercise of justice.
*Gifts* — Bribes.

Scornful men bring a city into a snare: but wise men turn away wrath.
*Wrath* — The wrath of God or of men, who were enraged against it.

If a wise man contendeth with a foolish man, whether he rage or laugh, there is no rest.
*Whether* — Whether he, the wise man, deal sharply with him, or mildly, there is no rest, no end or fruit of the debate.

The bloodthirsty hate the upright: but the just seek his soul.
*Seek* — To preserve it.

The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame.
*Left* — Suffered to follow his own will without restraint and chastening.

Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.
*No vision* — No prophecy; no publick preaching of God's word.

A servant will not be corrected by words: for though he understand he will not answer.
*A servant* — Who is so not only in condition, but also in the temper of his mind, disingenuous, and stubborn.
*Words* — By mere words.
*Tho'* — Though he know thy mind, and his own duty.

Seest thou a man that is hasty in his words there is more hope of a fool than of him.
*Hasty* — Who is rash and heady in the management of his affairs.

He that delicately bringeth up his servant from a child shall have him become his son at the length.
*Delicately* — Allowing him too much freedom, and familiarity.
*A son* — Will find him at last grow insolent, and forgetful of his servile condition.

Whoso is partner with a thief hateth his own soul: he heareth cursing, and bewrayeth it not.
*Bewrayeth it not* — Which he is bound to do for the publick good.

The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe.
*A snare* — Is an occasion of many sins.

Many seek the ruler's favour; but every man's judgment cometh from the LORD.
*Judgment* — The decision of his cause, and the success of all his endeavours.
