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