1 He that being often reproved|strong="H8433" hardeneth|strong="H7185" his|strong="H7665" neck|strong="H6203" shall|strong="H8433" suddenly|strong="H6621" be|strong="H6621" broken|strong="H7665", and|strong="H7665" that without|strong="H7665" remedy|strong="H4832".
2 When|strong="H7235" the|strong="H8055" righteous|strong="H6662" are|strong="H5971" increased|strong="H7235", the|strong="H8055" people|strong="H5971" rejoice|strong="H8055": but|strong="H7563" when|strong="H7235" a|strong="H3068" wicked|strong="H7563" man|strong="H7563" beareth|strong="H7563" rule|strong="H4910", the|strong="H8055" people|strong="H5971" sigh.
3 Whoso loveth wisdom|strong="H2451" rejoiceth|strong="H8055" his|strong="H7462" father: but|strong="H8055" he that|strong="H7462" keepeth|strong="H7462" company|strong="H7462" with|strong="H8055" harlots|strong="H2181" wasteth his substance|strong="H1952".
4 The|strong="H5975" king|strong="H4428" by|strong="H5975" judgment|strong="H4941" establisheth|strong="H5975" the|strong="H5975" land: but|strong="H4428" he|strong="H4428" that|strong="H4428" exacteth gifts|strong="H8641" overthroweth|strong="H2040" it|strong="H5975".
5 A|strong="H3068" man|strong="H1397" that|strong="H1397" flattereth|strong="H2505" his|strong="H5921" neighbour|strong="H7453" spreadeth|strong="H6566" a|strong="H3068" net|strong="H7568" for|strong="H5921" his|strong="H5921" steps|strong="H6471".
6 In|strong="H8055" the|strong="H8055" transgression|strong="H6588" of|strong="H6588" an|strong="H6588" evil|strong="H7451" man|strong="H6662" there is|strong="H6662" a|strong="H3068" snare|strong="H4170": but|strong="H6662" the|strong="H8055" righteous|strong="H6662" doth|strong="H6662" sing|strong="H7442" and|strong="H8055" rejoice|strong="H8055".
7 The|strong="H3045" righteous|strong="H6662" taketh knowledge|strong="H1847" of|strong="H1847" the|strong="H3045" cause|strong="H1779" of|strong="H1847" the|strong="H3045" poor|strong="H1800": the|strong="H3045" wicked|strong="H7563" hath|strong="H6662" not|strong="H3808" understanding to|strong="H3045" know|strong="H3045" it.
8 Scornful|strong="H3944" men|strong="H2450" set|strong="H7725" a|strong="H3068" city|strong="H7151" in|strong="H7725" a|strong="H3068" flame: but|strong="H7725" wise|strong="H2450" men|strong="H2450" turn|strong="H7725" away|strong="H7725" wrath.
9 If a|strong="H3068" wise|strong="H2450" man|strong="H2450" hath a|strong="H3068" controversy|strong="H8199" with|strong="H8199" a|strong="H3068" foolish man|strong="H2450", whether he|strong="H8199" be|strong="H8199" angry or|strong="H7264" laugh|strong="H7832", there will|strong="H2450" be|strong="H8199" no rest|strong="H5183".
10 The|strong="H1245" bloodthirsty hate|strong="H8130" him|strong="H8130" that|strong="H5315" is|strong="H5315" perfect|strong="H8535": and|strong="H1818" as|strong="H5315" for|strong="H5315" the|strong="H1245" upright|strong="H3477", they|strong="H5315" seek|strong="H1245" his|strong="H1245" life|strong="H5315".
11 A|strong="H3068" fool|strong="H3684" uttereth|strong="H3318" all|strong="H3605" his|strong="H3605" anger|strong="H7307": but|strong="H3605" a|strong="H3068" wise|strong="H2450" man|strong="H2450" keepeth|strong="H7623" it|strong="H7307" back|strong="H3318" and|strong="H3318" stilleth|strong="H7623" it|strong="H7307".
12 If a|strong="H3068" ruler|strong="H4910" hearkeneth to|strong="H5921" falsehood|strong="H8267", all|strong="H3605" his|strong="H3605" servants|strong="H8334" are|strong="H7563" wicked|strong="H7563".
13 The|strong="H3068" poor|strong="H7326" man|strong="H7326" and|strong="H3068" the|strong="H3068" oppressor meet|strong="H6298" together|strong="H6298": the|strong="H3068" LORD|strong="H3068" lighteneth the|strong="H3068" eyes|strong="H5869" of|strong="H3068" them|strong="H8147" both|strong="H8147".
14 The|strong="H8199" king|strong="H4428" that|strong="H4428" faithfully judgeth|strong="H8199" the|strong="H8199" poor|strong="H1800", his|strong="H3559" throne|strong="H3678" shall|strong="H4428" be|strong="H4428" established|strong="H3559" for|strong="H3559" ever|strong="H5703".
15 The|strong="H5414" rod|strong="H7626" and|strong="H7971" reproof|strong="H8433" give|strong="H5414" wisdom|strong="H2451": but a|strong="H3068" child|strong="H5288" left|strong="H5414" to|strong="H7971" himself causeth|strong="H5414" shame to|strong="H7971" his|strong="H5414" mother.
16 When|strong="H7200" the|strong="H7200" wicked|strong="H7563" are|strong="H7563" increased|strong="H7235", transgression|strong="H6588" increaseth|strong="H7235": but|strong="H7200" the|strong="H7200" righteous|strong="H6662" shall|strong="H7563" look|strong="H7200" upon|strong="H7200" their|strong="H7200" fall|strong="H4658".
17 Correct|strong="H3256" thy|strong="H5414" son|strong="H1121", and|strong="H1121" he|strong="H5414" shall|strong="H1121" give|strong="H5414" thee|strong="H5414" rest|strong="H5117"; yea, he|strong="H5414" shall|strong="H1121" give|strong="H5414" delight|strong="H4574" unto|strong="H5414" thy|strong="H5414" soul|strong="H5315".
18 Where there is|strong="H8451" no vision|strong="H2377", the|strong="H8104" people|strong="H5971" cast off restraint|strong="H6544": but|strong="H6544" he|strong="H5971" that|strong="H5971" keepeth|strong="H8104" the|strong="H8104" law|strong="H8451", happy is|strong="H8451" he|strong="H5971".
19 A|strong="H3068" servant|strong="H5650" will|strong="H5650" not|strong="H3808" be|strong="H3808" corrected|strong="H3256" by|strong="H3808" words|strong="H1697": for|strong="H3588" though|strong="H3588" he|strong="H3588" understand he|strong="H3588" will|strong="H5650" not|strong="H3808" give heed.
20 Seest|strong="H2372" thou a|strong="H3068" man|strong="H3684" that|strong="H1697" is|strong="H1697" hasty in|strong="H1697" his|strong="H4480" words|strong="H1697"? there|strong="H4480" is|strong="H1697" more|strong="H4480" hope|strong="H8615" of|strong="H1697" a|strong="H3068" fool|strong="H3684" than|strong="H4480" of|strong="H1697" him|strong="H4480".
21 He that|strong="H5650" delicately bringeth up|strong="H6445" his|strong="H1961" servant|strong="H5650" from|strong="H1961" a|strong="H3068" child|strong="H5290" shall|strong="H5650" have|strong="H1961" him|strong="H1961" become|strong="H1961" a|strong="H3068" son|strong="H4497" at|strong="H1961" the|strong="H1961" last.
22 An|strong="H1624" angry|strong="H2534" man|strong="H1167" stirreth up|strong="H1624" strife|strong="H4066", and|strong="H7227" a|strong="H3068" wrathful|strong="H2534" man|strong="H1167" aboundeth|strong="H1167" in|strong="H7227" transgression|strong="H6588".
23 A|strong="H3068" man|strong="H8213"’s pride|strong="H1346" shall|strong="H7307" bring|strong="H8213" him|strong="H8213" low|strong="H8213": but|strong="H1346" he|strong="H7307" that|strong="H7307" is|strong="H7307" of|strong="H7307" a|strong="H3068" lowly|strong="H8217" spirit|strong="H7307" shall|strong="H7307" obtain|strong="H8551" honour|strong="H3519".
24 Whoso is|strong="H5315" partner|strong="H2505" with|strong="H5973" a|strong="H3068" thief|strong="H1590" hateth|strong="H8130" his|strong="H8085" own|strong="H5315" soul|strong="H5315": he|strong="H3808" heareth|strong="H8085" the|strong="H8085" adjuration and|strong="H8085" uttereth nothing|strong="H3808".
25 The|strong="H5414" fear|strong="H2731" of|strong="H3068" man bringeth|strong="H5414" a|strong="H3068" snare|strong="H4170": but|strong="H3068" whoso putteth|strong="H5414" his|strong="H5414" trust in|strong="H3068" the|strong="H5414" LORD|strong="H3068" shall|strong="H3068" be|strong="H3068" safe|strong="H7682".
26 Many|strong="H7227" seek|strong="H1245" the|strong="H6440" ruler|strong="H4910"’s favour|strong="H6440": but|strong="H3068" a|strong="H3068" man|strong="H6440"’s judgment|strong="H4941" cometh from|strong="H6440" the|strong="H6440" LORD|strong="H3068".
27 An unjust|strong="H5766" man|strong="H7563" is|strong="H7563" an abomination|strong="H8441" to|strong="H1870" the|strong="H1870" righteous|strong="H6662": and|strong="H1870" he that|strong="H6662" is|strong="H7563" upright|strong="H3477" in|strong="H3477" the|strong="H1870" way|strong="H1870" is|strong="H7563" an abomination|strong="H8441" to|strong="H1870" the|strong="H1870" wicked|strong="H7563".
