He, <H0376> that being often reproved <H8433> hardeneth <H7185> [his] neck, <H6203> shall suddenly <H6621> be destroyed, <H7665> and that without remedy. <H4832>
2
When the righteous <H6662> are in authority, <H7235> the people <H5971> rejoice: <H8055> but when the wicked <H7563> beareth rule, <H4910> the people <H5971> mourn. <H0584>
3
Whoso <H0376> loveth <H0157> wisdom <H2451> rejoiceth <H8055> his father: <H0001> but he that keepeth company <H7462> with harlots <H2181> spendeth <H0006> [his] substance. <H1952>
4
The king <H4428> by judgment <H4941> establisheth <H5975> the land: <H0776> but he <H0376> that receiveth gifts <H8641> overthroweth <H2040> it.
5
A man <H1397> that flattereth <H2505> his neighbour <H7453> spreadeth <H6566> a net <H7568> for his feet. <H6471>
6
In the transgression <H6588> of an evil <H7451> man <H0376> [there is] a snare: <H4170> but the righteous <H6662> doth sing <H7442> and rejoice. <H8056>
7
The righteous <H6662> considereth <H3045> the cause <H1779> of the poor: <H1800> [but] the wicked <H7563> regardeth <H0995> not to know <H1847> [it].
8
Scornful <H3944> men <H0582> bring a city <H7151> into a snare: <H6315> but wise <H2450> [men] turn away <H7725> wrath. <H0639>
9
[If] a wise <H2450> man <H0376> contendeth <H8199> with a foolish <H0191> man, <H0376> whether he rage <H7264> or laugh, <H7832> [there is] no rest. <H5183>
10
The bloodthirsty <H0582> <H1818> hate <H8130> the upright: <H8535> but the just <H3477> seek <H1245> his soul. <H5315>
11
A fool <H3684> uttereth <H3318> all his mind: <H7307> but a wise <H2450> [man] keepeth <H7623> it in till afterwards. <H0268>
12
If a ruler <H4910> hearken <H7181> to lies, <H1697> <H8267> all his servants <H8334> [are] wicked. <H7563>
13
The poor <H7326> and the deceitful <H8501> man <H0376> meet <H6298> together: the LORD <H3068> lighteneth <H0215> both <H8147> their eyes. <H5869>
14
The king <H4428> that faithfully <H0571> judgeth <H8199> the poor, <H1800> his throne <H3678> shall be established <H3559> for ever. <H5703>
15
The rod <H7626> and reproof <H8433> give <H5414> wisdom: <H2451> but a child <H5288> left <H7971> [to himself] bringeth his mother <H0517> to shame. <H0954>
16
When the wicked <H7563> are multiplied, <H7235> transgression <H6588> increaseth: <H7235> but the righteous <H6662> shall see <H7200> their fall. <H4658>
17
Correct <H3256> thy son, <H1121> and he shall give thee rest; <H5117> yea, he shall give <H5414> delight <H4574> unto thy soul. <H5315>
18
Where [there is] no vision, <H2377> the people <H5971> perish: <H6544> but he that keepeth <H8104> the law, <H8451> happy <H0835> [is] he.
19
A servant <H5650> will not be corrected <H3256> by words: <H1697> for though he understand <H0995> he will not answer. <H4617>
20
Seest <H2372> thou a man <H0376> [that is] hasty <H0213> in his words? <H1697> [there is] more hope <H8615> of a fool <H3684> than of him.
21
He that delicately bringeth up <H6445> his servant <H5650> from a child <H5290> shall have him become [his] son <H4497> at the length. <H0319>
22
An angry <H0639> man <H0376> stirreth up <H1624> strife, <H4066> and a furious <H2534> man <H1167> aboundeth <H7227> in transgression. <H6588>
23
A man's <H0120> pride <H1346> shall bring him low: <H8213> but honour <H3519> shall uphold <H8551> the humble <H8217> in spirit. <H7307>
24
Whoso is partner <H2505> with a thief <H1590> hateth <H8130> his own soul: <H5315> he heareth <H8085> cursing, <H0423> and bewrayeth <H5046> [it] not.
25
The fear <H2731> of man <H0120> bringeth <H5414> a snare: <H4170> but whoso putteth his trust <H0982> in the LORD <H3068> shall be safe. <H7682>
26
Many <H7227> seek <H1245> the ruler's <H4910> favour; <H6440> but [every] man's <H0376> judgment <H4941> [cometh] from the LORD. <H3068>
27
An unjust <H5766> man <H0376> [is] an abomination <H8441> to the just: <H6662> and [he that is] upright <H3477> in the way <H1870> [is] abomination <H8441> to the wicked. <H7563>
