“Whoso loveth wisdom rejoiceth his father; But he that keepeth company with harlots wasteth his substance. The king by justice establisheth the land; But he that exacteth gifts overthroweth it. A man that flattereth his neighbor Spreadeth a net for his steps. In the transgression of an evil man there is a snare; But the righteous doth sing and rejoice. The righteous taketh knowledge of the cause of the poor; The wicked hath not understanding to know it. Scoffers set a city in a flame; But wise men turn away wrath. If a wise man hath a controversy with a foolish man, Whether he be angry or laugh, there will be no rest. The bloodthirsty hate him that is perfect; And as for the upright, they seek his life. A fool uttereth all his anger; But a wise man keepeth it back and stilleth it. If a ruler hearkeneth to falsehood, All his servants are wicked. The poor man and the oppressor meet together; Jehovah lighteneth the eyes of them both. The king that faithfully judgeth the poor, His throne shall be established for ever. The rod and reproof give wisdom; But a child left to himself causeth shame to his mother. When the wicked are increased, transgression increaseth; But the righteous shall look upon their fall. Correct thy son, and he will give thee rest; Yea, he will give delight unto thy soul. Where there is no vision, the people cast off restraint; But he that keepeth the law, happy is he. A servant will not be corrected by words; For though he understand, he will not give heed. Seest thou a man that is hasty in his words? There is more hope of a fool than of him. He that delicately bringeth up his servant from a child Shall have him become a son at the last. An angry man stirreth up strife, And a wrathful man aboundeth in transgression. A man’s pride shall bring him low; But he that is of a lowly spirit shall obtain honor. Whoso is partner with a thief hateth his own soul; He heareth the adjuration and uttereth nothing. The fear of man bringeth a snare; But whoso putteth his trust in Jehovah shall be safe. Many seek the ruler’s favor; But a man’s judgmentcomethfrom Jehovah. An unjust man is an abomination to the righteous; And he that is upright in the way is an abomination to the wicked. ”

“Whoever loves wisdom brings joy to his father; but a companion of prostitutes squanders his wealth. The king by justice makes the land stable, but he who takes bribes tears it down. A man who flatters his neighbor spreads a net for his feet. An evil man is snared by his sin, but the righteous can sing and be glad. The righteous care about justice for the poor. The wicked aren't concerned about knowledge. Mockers stir up a city, but wise men turn away anger. If a wise man goes to court with a foolish man, the fool rages or scoffs, and there is no peace. The bloodthirsty hate a man of integrity; and they seek the life of the upright. A fool vents all of his anger, but a wise man brings himself under control. If a ruler listens to lies, all of his officials are wicked. The poor man and the oppressor have this in common: Yahweh gives sight to the eyes of both. The king who fairly judges the poor, his throne shall be established forever. The rod of correction gives wisdom, but a child left to himself causes shame to his mother. When the wicked increase, sin increases; but the righteous will see their downfall. Correct your son, and he will give you peace; yes, he will bring delight to your soul. Where there is no revelation, the people cast off restraint; but one who keeps the law is blessed. A servant can't be corrected by words. Though he understands, yet he will not respond. Do you see a man who is hasty in his words? There is more hope for a fool than for him. He who pampers his servant from youth will have him become a son in the end. An angry man stirs up strife, and a wrathful man abounds in sin. A man's pride brings him low, but one of lowly spirit gains honor. Whoever is an accomplice of a thief is an enemy of his own soul. He takes an oath, but dares not testify. The fear of man proves to be a snare, but whoever puts his trust in Yahweh is kept safe. Many seek the ruler's favor, but a man's justice comes from Yahweh. A dishonest man detests the righteous, and the upright in their ways detest the wicked.”

“The man who loves wisdom brings joy to his father, but whoever associates with prostitutes wastes his wealth. A king brings stability to a land by justice, but one who exacts tribute tears it down. The one who flatters his neighbor spreads a net for his steps. In the transgression of an evil person there is a snare, but a righteous person can sing and rejoice. The righteous person cares for the legal rights of the poor; the wicked does not understand such knowledge. Scornful people inflame a city, but those who are wise turn away wrath. When a wise person goes to court with a foolish person, there is no peace whether he is angry or laughs. Bloodthirsty people hate someone with integrity; as for the upright, they seek his life. A fool lets fly with all his temper, but a wise person keeps it back. If a ruler listens to lies, all his ministers will be wicked. The poor person and the oppressor have this in common: the LORD gives light to the eyes of them both. If a king judges the poor in truth, his throne will be established forever. A rod and reproof impart wisdom, but a child who is unrestrained brings shame to his mother. When the wicked increase, transgression increases, but the righteous will see their downfall. Discipline your child, and he will give you rest; he will bring you happiness. When there is no prophetic vision the people cast off restraint, but the one who keeps the law, blessed is he! A servant cannot be corrected by words, for although he understands, there is no answer. You have seen someone who is hasty in his words– there is more hope for a fool than for him. If someone pampers his servant from youth, he will be a weakling in the end. An angry person stirs up dissension, and a wrathful person is abounding in transgression. A person’s pride will bring him low, but one who has a lowly spirit will gain honor. Whoever shares with a thief is his own enemy; he hears the oath to testify, but does not talk. The fear of people becomes a snare, but whoever trusts in the LORD will be set on high. Many people seek the face of a ruler, but it is from the LORD that one receives justice. An unjust person is an abomination to the righteous, and the one who lives an upright life is an abomination to the wicked.”

“A man that loveth wisdom, rejoiceth his father: but he that maintaineth harlots, shall squander away his substance. A just king setteth up the land: a covetous man shall destroy it. A man that speaketh to his friend with flattering and dissembling words, spreadeth a net for his feet. A snare shall entangle the wicked man when he sinneth: and the just shall praise and rejoice. The just taketh notice of the cause of the poor: the wicked is void of knowledge. Corrupt men bring a city to ruin: but wise men turn away wrath. If a wise man contend with a fool, whether he be angry, or laugh, he shall find no rest. Bloodthirsty men hate the upright: but just men seek his soul. A fool uttereth all his mind: a wise man deferreth, and keepeth it till afterwards. A prince that gladly heareth lying words, hath all his servants wicked. The poor man and the creditor have met one another: the Lord is the enlightener of them both. The king that judgeth the poor in truth, his throne shall be established for ever. The rod and reproof give wisdom: but the child that is left to his own will, bringeth his mother to shame. When the wicked are multiplied, crimes shall be multiplied: but the just shall see their downfall. Instruct thy son and he shall refresh thee, and shall give delight to thy soul. When prophecy shall fail, the people shall be scattered abroad: but he that keepeth the law, is blessed. A slave will not be corrected by words: because he understandeth what thou sayest, and will not answer. Hast thou seen a man hasty to speak? folly is rather to be looked for, than his amendment. He that nourisheth his servant delicately from his childhood, afterwards shall find him stubborn. A passionate man provoketh quarrels: and he that is easily stirred up to wrath, shall be more prone to sin. Humiliation followeth the proud: and glory shall uphold the humble of spirit. He that is partaker with a thief, hateth his own soul: he heareth one putting him to his oath, and discovereth not. He that feareth man shall quickly fall: he that trusteth in the Lord, shall be set on high. Many seek the face of the prince: but the judgment of every one cometh forth from the Lord. The just abhor a wicked man: and the wicked loathe them that are in the right way. The son that keepeth the word, shall be free from destruction. ”

“A man who is a lover of wisdom is a joy to his father: but he who goes in the company of loose women is a waster of wealth. A king, by right rule, makes the land safe; but one full of desires makes it a waste. A man who says smooth things to his neighbour is stretching out a net for his steps. In the steps of an evil man there is a net for him, but the upright man gets away quickly and is glad. The upright man gives attention to the cause of the poor: the evil-doer gives no thought to it. Men of pride are the cause of violent acts in a town, but by wise men wrath is turned away. If a wise man goes to law with a foolish man, he may be angry or laughing, but there will be no rest. Men of blood are haters of the good man, and evil-doers go after his soul. A foolish man lets out all his wrath, but a wise man keeps it back quietly. If a ruler gives attention to false words, all his servants are evil-doers. The poor man and his creditor come face to face: the Lord gives light to their eyes equally. The king who is a true judge in the cause of the poor, will be safe for ever on the seat of his power. The rod and sharp words give wisdom: but a child who is not guided is a cause of shame to his mother. When evil men are in power, wrongdoing is increased; but the upright will have pleasure when they see their downfall. Give your son training, and he will give you rest; he will give delight to your soul. Where there is no vision, the people are uncontrolled; but he who keeps the law will be happy. A servant will not be trained by words; for though the sense of the words is clear to him, he will not give attention. Have you seen a man who is quick with his tongue? There is more hope for a foolish man than for him. If a servant is gently cared for from his early years, he will become a cause of sorrow in the end. An angry man is the cause of fighting, and a man given to wrath does much wrong. A man's pride will be the cause of his fall, but he who has a gentle spirit will get honour. A man who takes part with a thief has hate for his soul; he is put under oath, but says nothing. The fear of man is a cause of danger: but whoever puts his faith in the Lord will have a safe place on high. The approval of a ruler is desired by great numbers: but the decision in a man's cause comes from the Lord. An evil man is disgusting to the upright, and he who is upright is disgusting to evil-doers.”

“Whoso loveth wisdom rejoiceth his father: but he that keepeth company with harlots spendeth his substance. The king by judgment establisheth the land: but he that receiveth gifts overthroweth it. A man that flattereth his neighbour spreadeth a net for his feet. In the transgression of an evil man there is a snare: but the righteous doth sing and rejoice. The righteous considereth the cause of the poor: but the wicked regardeth not to know it. Scornful men bring a city into a snare: but wise men turn away wrath. If a wise man contendeth with a foolish man, whether he rage or laugh, there is no rest. The bloodthirsty hate the upright: but the just seek his soul. A fool uttereth all his mind: but a wise man keepeth it in till afterwards. If a ruler hearken to lies, all his servants are wicked. The poor and the deceitful man meet together: the Lord lighteneth both their eyes. The king that faithfully judgeth the poor, his throne shall be established for ever. The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame. When the wicked are multiplied, transgression increaseth: but the righteous shall see their fall. Correct thy son, and he shall give thee rest; yea, he shall give delight unto thy soul. Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he. A servant will not be corrected by words: for though he understand he will not answer. Seest thou a man that is hasty in his words? there is more hope of a fool than of him. He that delicately bringeth up his servant from a child shall have him become his son at the length. An angry man stirreth up strife, and a furious man aboundeth in transgression. A man’s pride shall bring him low: but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit. Whoso is partner with a thief hateth his own soul: he heareth cursing, and bewrayeth it not. The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the Lord shall be safe. Many seek the ruler’s favour; but every man’s judgment cometh from the Lord. An unjust man is an abomination to the just: and he that is upright in the way is abomination to the wicked. ”
