 1 He, that being often reproved hardeneth *his* neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy.*

 2 When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn. *

 3 Whoso loveth wisdom rejoiceth his father: but he that keepeth company with harlots spendeth *his* substance.

 4 The king by judgment establisheth the land: but he that receiveth gifts overthroweth it.*

 5 A man that flattereth his neighbour spreadeth a net for his feet.

 6 In the transgression of an evil man *there is* a snare: but the righteous doth sing and rejoice.

 7 The righteous considereth the cause of the poor: *but* the wicked regardeth not to know *it*.

 8 Scornful men bring a city into a snare: but wise *men* turn away wrath.*

 9 *If* a wise man contendeth with a foolish man, whether he rage or laugh, *there is* no rest.

 10 The bloodthirsty hate the upright: but the just seek his soul.*

 11 A fool uttereth all his mind: but a wise *man* keepeth it in till afterwards.

 12 If a ruler hearken to lies, all his servants *are* wicked.

 13 The poor and the deceitful man meet together: the LORD lighteneth both their eyes.*

 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* bringeth his mother to shame.

 16 When the wicked are multiplied, transgression increaseth: but the righteous shall see their fall.

 17 Correct thy son, and he shall give thee rest; yea, he shall give delight unto thy soul.

 18 Where *there is* no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy *is* he.*

 19 A servant will not be corrected by words: for though he understand he will not answer.

 20 Seest thou a man *that is* hasty in his words? *there is* more hope of a fool than of him.*

 21 He that delicately bringeth up his servant from a child shall have him become *his* son at the length.

 22 An angry man stirreth up strife, and a furious man aboundeth in transgression.

 23 A man’s pride shall bring him low: but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit.

 24 Whoso is partner with a thief hateth his own soul: he heareth cursing, and bewrayeth *it* not.

 25 The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe.*

 26 Many seek the ruler’s favour; but *every* man’s judgment *cometh* from the LORD.*

 27 An unjust man *is* an abomination to the just: and *he that is* upright in the way *is* abomination to the wicked.
