291He that being often reproved hardeneth his neck Shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy.+2When the righteous are increased, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man beareth rule, the people sigh.+3Whoso loveth wisdom rejoiceth his father; But he that keepeth company with harlots wasteth [his] substance.+4The king by justice establisheth the land; But he that exacteth gifts overthroweth it.+5A man that flattereth his neighbor Spreadeth a net for his steps.+6In the transgression of an evil man there is a snare; But the righteous doth sing and rejoice.+7The righteous taketh knowledge of the cause of the poor; The wicked hath not understanding to know [it].+8Scoffers set a city in a flame; But wise men turn away wrath.+9If a wise man hath a controversy with a foolish man, Whether he be angry or laugh, there will be no rest.+10The bloodthirsty hate him that is perfect; And as for the upright, they seek his life.+11A fool uttereth all his anger; But a wise man keepeth it back and stilleth it.+12If a ruler hearkeneth to falsehood, All his servants are wicked.+13The poor man and the oppressor meet together; Jehovah lighteneth the eyes of them both.+14The king that faithfully judgeth the poor, His throne shall be established for ever.+15The rod and reproof give wisdom; But a child left to himself causeth shame to his mother.+16When the wicked are increased, transgression increaseth; But the righteous shall look upon their fall.+17Correct thy son, and he will give thee rest; Yea, he will give delight unto thy soul.+18Where there is no vision, the people cast off restraint; But he that keepeth the law, happy is he.+19A servant will not be corrected by words; For though he understand, he will not give heed.+20Seest thou a man that is hasty in his words? There is more hope of a fool than of him.+21He that delicately bringeth up his servant from a child Shall have him become a son at the last.+22An angry man stirreth up strife, And a wrathful man aboundeth in transgression.+23A man’s pride shall bring him low; But he that is of a lowly spirit shall obtain honor.+24Whoso is partner with a thief hateth his own soul; He heareth the adjuration and uttereth nothing.+25The fear of man bringeth a snare; But whoso putteth his trust in Jehovah shall be safe.+26Many seek the ruler’s favor; But a man’s judgment [cometh] from Jehovah.+27An unjust man is an abomination to the righteous; And he that is upright in the way is an abomination to the wicked.+
