1 He 376, that being often reproved 8433 hardeneth 7185 his neck 6203, shall suddenly 6621 be destroyed 7665, and that without remedy 4832.
2 When the righteous 6662 are in authority 7235, the people 5971 rejoice 8055: but when the wicked 7563 beareth rule 4910, the people 5971 mourn 584.
3 Whoso 376 loveth 157 wisdom 2451 rejoiceth 8055 his father 1: but he that keepeth company 7462 with harlots 2181 spendeth 6 his substance 1952.
4 The king 4428 by judgment 4941 establisheth 5975 the land 776: but he 376 that receiveth gifts 8641 overthroweth 2040 it.
5 A man 1397 that flattereth 2505 his neighbour 7453 spreadeth 6566 a net 7568 for his feet 6471.
6 In the transgression 6588 of an evil 7451 man 376 there is a snare 4170: but the righteous 6662 doth sing 7442 and rejoice 8056.
7 The righteous 6662 considereth 3045 the cause 1779 of the poor 1800: but the wicked 7563 regardeth 995 not to know 1847 it.
8 Scornful 3944 men 582 bring 6315 0 a city 7151 into a snare 6315: but wise 2450 men turn away 7725 wrath 639.
9 If a wise 2450 man 376 contendeth 8199 with a foolish 191 man 376, whether he rage 7264 or laugh 7832, there is no rest 5183.
10 The bloodthirsty 582 1818 hate 8130 the upright 8535: but the just 3477 seek 1245 his soul 5315.
11 A fool 3684 uttereth 3318 all his mind 7307: but a wise 2450 man keepeth 7623 it in till afterwards 268.
12 If a ruler 4910 hearken 7181 to lies 1697 8267, all his servants 8334 are wicked 7563.
13 The poor 7326 and the deceitful 8501 man 376 meet together 6298: the LORD 3068 lighteneth 215 both 8147 their eyes 5869.
14 The king 4428 that faithfully 571 judgeth 8199 the poor 1800, his throne 3678 shall be established 3559 for ever 5703.
15 The rod 7626 and reproof 8433 give 5414 wisdom 2451: but a child 5288 left 7971 to himself bringeth his mother 517 to shame 954.
16 When the wicked 7563 are multiplied 7235, transgression 6588 increaseth 7235: but the righteous 6662 shall see 7200 their fall 4658.
17 Correct 3256 thy son 1121, and he shall give thee rest 5117; yea, he shall give 5414 delight 4574 unto thy soul 5315.
18 Where there is no vision 2377, the people 5971 perish 6544: but he that keepeth 8104 the law 8451, happy 835 is he.
19 A servant 5650 will not be corrected 3256 by words 1697: for though he understand 995 he will not answer 4617.
20 Seest 2372 thou a man 376 that is hasty 213 in his words 1697? there is more hope 8615 of a fool 3684 than of him.
21 He that delicately bringeth up 6445 his servant 5650 from a child 5290 shall have him become his son 4497 at the length 319.
22 An angry 639 man 376 stirreth up 1624 strife 4066, and a furious 2534 man 1167 aboundeth in 7227 transgression 6588.
23 A man's 120 pride 1346 shall bring him low 8213: but honour 3519 shall uphold 8551 the humble 8217 in spirit 7307.
24 Whoso is partner 2505 with a thief 1590 hateth 8130 his own soul 5315: he heareth 8085 cursing 423, and bewrayeth 5046 it not.
25 The fear 2731 of man 120 bringeth 5414 a snare 4170: but whoso putteth his trust 982 in the LORD 3068 shall be safe 7682.
26 Many 7227 seek 1245 the ruler's 4910 favour 6440; but every man's 376 judgment 4941 cometh from the LORD 3068.
27 An unjust 5766 man 376 is an abomination 8441 to the just 6662: and he that is upright 3477 in the way 1870 is abomination 8441 to the wicked 7563.
