1 He that being often reproved hardeneth his neck
2 When the righteous are increased, the people rejoice;
3 Whoso loveth wisdom rejoiceth his father;
4 The king by justice establisheth the land;
5 A man that flattereth his neighbor
6 In the transgression of an evil man there is a snare;
7 The righteous taketh knowledge of the cause of the poor;
8 Scoffers set a city in a flame;
9 If a wise man hath a controversy with a foolish man,
10 The bloodthirsty hate him that is perfect;
11 A fool uttereth all his anger;
12 If a ruler hearkeneth to falsehood,
13 The poor man and the oppressor meet together;
14 The king that faithfully judgeth the poor,
15 The rod and reproof give wisdom;
16 When the wicked are increased, transgression increaseth;
17 Correct thy son, and he will give thee rest;
18 Where there is no vision, the people cast off restraint;
19 A servant will not be corrected by words;
20 Seest thou a man that is hasty in his words?
21 He that delicately bringeth up his servant from a child
22 An angry man stirreth up strife,
23 A man’s pride shall bring him low;
24 Whoso is partner with a thief hateth his own soul;
25 The fear of man bringeth a snare;
26 Many seek the ruler’s favor;
27 An unjust man is an abomination to the righteous;
