291A man often reproved, hardening the neck, Is suddenly broken, and there is no healing.+2In the multiplying of the righteous the people rejoice, And in the ruling of the wicked the people sigh.+3A man loving wisdom rejoiceth his father, And a friend of harlots destroyeth wealth.+4A king by judgment establisheth a land, And one receiving gifts throweth it down.+5A man taking a portion above his neighbour, Spreadeth a net for his own steps.+6In the transgression of the evil is a snare, And the righteous doth sing and rejoice.+7The righteous knoweth the plea of the poor, The wicked understandeth not knowledge.+8Men of scorning ensnare a city, And the wise turn back anger.+9A wise man is judged by the foolish man, And he hath been angry, And he hath laughed, and there is no rest.+10Men of blood hate the perfect, And the upright seek his soul.+11A fool bringeth out all his mind, And the wise till afterwards restraineth it.+12A ruler who is attending to lying words, All his ministers are wicked.+13The poor and the man of frauds have met together, Jehovah is enlightening the eyes of them both.+14a king that is judging truly the poor, His throne for ever is established.+15A rod and reproof give wisdom, And a youth let away is shaming his mother.+16In the multiplying of the wicked transgression multiplieth, And the righteous on their fall do look.+17Chastise thy son, and he giveth thee comfort, Yea, he giveth delights to thy soul.+18Without a Vision is a people made naked, And whoso is keeping the law, O his happiness!+19By words a servant is not instructed though he understand, And there is nothing answering.+20Thou hast seen a man hasty in his words! More hope of a fool than of him.+21Whoso is bringing up his servant delicately, from youth, At his latter end also he is continuator.+22An angry man stirreth up contention, And a furious man is multiplying transgression.+23The pride of man humbleth him, And humility of spirit upholdeth honour.+24Whoso is sharing with a thief is hating his own soul, Execration he heareth, and telleth not.+25Fear of man causeth a snare, And the confident in Jehovah is set on high.+26Many are seeking the face of a ruler, And from Jehovah is the judgment of each.+27An abomination to the righteous is the perverse man, And an abomination to the wicked is the upright in the way!+
