1He, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy.2When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.5A man that flattereth his neighbour spreadeth a net for his feet.7The righteous considereth the cause of the poor: but the wicked regardeth not to know it.9If a wise man contendeth with a foolish man, whether he rage or laugh, there is no rest.11A fool uttereth all his mind: but a wise man keepeth it in till afterwards.12If a ruler hearken to lies , all his servants are wicked.13The poor and the deceitful man meet together: the LORD lighteneth both their eyes.15The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame.17Correct thy son, and he shall give thee rest; yea, he shall give delight unto thy soul.18Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.20Seest thou a man that is hasty in his words? there is more hope of a fool than of him.22An angry man stirreth up strife, and a furious man aboundeth in transgression.23A man's pride shall bring him low: but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit.25The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe.
