* He who , being often reproved , hardeneth his neck , Shall suddenly be destroyed , and that without remedy . * When the righteous are powerful , the people rejoice ; But when the wicked beareth rule , the people mourn . * He who loveth wisdom rejoiceth his father ; But he who is a companion of harlots destroyeth his substance . * A king by equity establisheth a land ; But he who receiveth gifts overthroweth it . * A man who flattereth his neighbor Spreadeth a net for his feet . * In the transgression of a wicked man there is a snare ; But the righteous shall sing and rejoice . * A righteous man careth for the cause of the poor ; A wicked man discerneth not knowledge . * Scoffers kindle a city into a flame ; But wise men pacify wrath . * If a wise man contend in a cause with a fool , Whether he rage or laugh , there will be no rest . * The bloodthirsty man hateth the upright ; But the righteous seek to preserve his life . * A fool letteth all his anger come out ; But a wise man keepeth it back . * If a ruler listen to words of falsehood , All his servants become wicked . * The poor man and the oppressor meet together : The LORD giveth light to the eyes of them both . * The king that judgeth the poor with uprightness , His throne shall be established for ever . * The rod and reproof give wisdom ; But a child left to himself bringeth shame to his mother . * When the wicked are powerful , transgression increaseth ; But the righteous shall see their fall . * Chastise thy son , and he will give thee rest ; Yea , he will give delight to thy soul . * Where there is no vision , the people become unruly ; But he that keepeth the law , happy is he . * A servant will not be corrected by words ; For , though he understand , he will not obey . * Seest thou a man hasty in his words ? There is more hope of a fool than of him . * He that bringeth up his servant delicately from childhood Shall have him become a son at the last . * An angry man stirreth up strife , And a passionate man aboundeth in transgression . * A man ’s pride will bring him low ; But he that is of a humble spirit shall obtain honor . * He who shareth with a thief hateth himself : He heareth the curse , but maketh no discovery . * The fear of man bringeth a snare ; But whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe . * Many are they who seek the ruler ’s favor ; But every man ’s judgment cometh from the LORD . * As the unjust man is an abomination to the righteous , So the upright in his way is an abomination to the wicked .
