¹ H376 He H8433 , that being often reproved H7185 hardeneth [H8688]   H6203 his neck H6621 , shall suddenly H7665 be destroyed [H8735]   H4832 , and that without remedy.

² H6662 When the righteous H7235 are in authority [H8800]   H5971 , the people H8055 rejoice [H8799]   H7563 : but when the wicked H4910 beareth rule [H8800]   H5971 , the people H584 mourn [H8735]  .

³ H376 Whoso H157 loveth [H8802]   H2451 wisdom H8055 rejoiceth [H8762]   H1 his father H7462 : but he that keepeth company [H8802]   H2181 with harlots [H8802]   H6 spendeth [H8762]   H1952 his substance.

⁴ H4428 The king H4941 by judgment H5975 establisheth [H8686]   H776 the land H376 : but he H8641 that receiveth gifts H2040 overthroweth [H8799]   it.

⁵ H1397 A man H2505 that flattereth [H8688]   H7453 his neighbour H6566 spreadeth [H8802]   H7568 a net H6471 for his feet.

⁶ H6588 In the transgression H7451 of an evil H376 man H4170 there is a snare H6662 : but the righteous H7442 doth sing [H8799]   H8056 and rejoice.

⁷ H6662 The righteous H3045 considereth [H8802]   H1779 the cause H1800 of the poor H7563 : but the wicked H995 regardeth [H8799]   H1847 not to know it .

⁸ H3944 Scornful H582 men H6315 bring H7151 a city H6315 into a snare [H8686]   H2450 : but wise H7725 men turn away [H8686]   H639 wrath.

⁹ H2450 If a wise H376 man H8199 contendeth [H8737]   H191 with a foolish H376 man H7264 , whether he rage [H8804]   H7832 or laugh [H8804]   H5183 , there is no rest.

¹⁰ H582 The bloodthirsty H1818   H8130 hate [H8799]   H8535 the upright H3477 : but the just H1245 seek [H8762]   H5315 his soul.

¹¹ H3684 A fool H3318 uttereth [H8686]   H7307 all his mind H2450 : but a wise H7623 man keepeth [H8762]   H268 it in till afterwards.

¹² H4910 If a ruler [H8802]   H7181 hearken [H8688]   H1697 to lies H8267   H8334 , all his servants [H8764]   H7563 are wicked.

¹³ H7326 The poor [H8802]   H8501 and the deceitful H376 man H6298 meet together [H8738]   H3068 : the LORD H215 lighteneth [H8688]   H8147 both H5869 their eyes.

¹⁴ H4428 The king H571 that faithfully H8199 judgeth [H8802]   H1800 the poor H3678 , his throne H3559 shall be established [H8735]   H5703 for ever.

¹⁵ H7626 The rod H8433 and reproof H5414 give [H8799]   H2451 wisdom H5288 : but a child H7971 left [H8794]   H517 to himself bringeth his mother H954 to shame [H8688]  .

¹⁶ H7563 When the wicked H7235 are multiplied [H8800]   H6588 , transgression H7235 increaseth [H8799]   H6662 : but the righteous H7200 shall see [H8799]   H4658 their fall.

¹⁷ H3256 Correct [H8761]   H1121 thy son H5117 , and he shall give thee rest [H8686]   H5414 ; yea, he shall give [H8799]   H4574 delight H5315 unto thy soul.

¹⁸ H2377 Where there is no vision H5971 , the people H6544 perish [H8735]   H8104 : but he that keepeth [H8802]   H8451 the law H835 , happy is he.

¹⁹ H5650 A servant H3256 will not be corrected [H8735]   H1697 by words H995 : for though he understand [H8799]   H4617 he will not answer.

²⁰ H2372 Seest [H8804]   H376 thou a man H213 that is hasty [H8801]   H1697 in his words H8615 ? there is more hope H3684 of a fool than of him.

²¹ H6445 He that delicately bringeth up [H8764]   H5650 his servant H5290 from a child H4497 shall have him become his son H319 at the length.

²² H639 An angry H376 man H1624 stirreth up [H8762]   H4066 strife H2534 , and a furious H1167 man H7227 aboundeth in H6588 transgression.

²³ H120 A man's H1346 pride H8213 shall bring him low [H8686]   H3519 : but honour H8551 shall uphold [H8799]   H8217 the humble H7307 in spirit.

²⁴ H2505 Whoso is partner [H8802]   H1590 with a thief H8130 hateth [H8802]   H5315 his own soul H8085 : he heareth [H8799]   H423 cursing H5046 , and bewrayeth [H8686]   it not.

²⁵ H2731 The fear H120 of man H5414 bringeth [H8799]   H4170 a snare H982 : but whoso putteth his trust [H8802]   H3068 in the LORD H7682 shall be safe [H8792]  .

²⁶ H7227 Many H1245 seek [H8764]   H4910 the ruler's [H8802]   H6440 favour H376 ; but every man's H4941 judgment H3068 cometh from the LORD.

²⁷ H5766 An unjust H376 man H8441 is an abomination H6662 to the just H3477 : and he that is upright H1870 in the way H8441 is abomination H7563 to the wicked.
