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

[8] ScornfulH3944 menH582 bringH6315 a cityH7151 into a snare:H6315(HiphImpf) but wiseH2450 [men] turn awayH7725(HiphImpf) wrath.H639 [9] [If] a wiseH2450 manH376 contendethH8199(NiphPtc) with a foolishH191 man,H376 whether he rageH7264(QalPerf) or laugh,H7832(QalPerf) [there is] no rest.H5183 [10] The bloodthirstyH582 hateH8130(QalImpf) the upright:H8535 but the justH3477 seekH1245(PielImpf) his soul.H5315 [11] A foolH3684 utterethH3318(HiphImpf) all his mind:H7307 but a wiseH2450 [man] keepethH7623(PielImpf) it in till afterwards.H268 [12] If a rulerH4910(QalActPtc) hearkenH7181(HiphPtc) to lies,H1697 all his servantsH8334(PielPtc) [are] wicked.H7563 [13] The poorH7326(QalActPtc) and the deceitfulH8501 manH376 meet together:H6298(NiphPerf) the LordH3068 lightenethH215(HiphPtc) bothH8147 their eyes.H5869 [14] The kingH4428 that faithfullyH571 judgethH8199(QalActPtc) the poor,H1800 his throneH3678 shall be establishedH3559(NiphImpf) for ever.H5703 [15] The rodH7626 and reproofH8433 giveH5414(QalImpf) wisdom:H2451 but a childH5288 leftH7971(PualPtc) [to himself] bringeth his motherH517 to shame.H954(HiphPtc) [16] When the wickedH7563 are multiplied,H7235(QalInf) transgressionH6588 increaseth:H7235(QalImpf) but the righteousH6662 shall seeH7200(QalImpf) their fall.H4658 [17] CorrectH3256(PielImpv) thy son,H1121 and he shall give thee rest;H5117(HiphImpf) yea, he shall giveH5414(QalImpf) delightH4574 unto thy soul.H5315 [18] Where [there is] no vision,H2377 the peopleH5971 perish:H6544(NiphImpf) but he that keepethH8104(QalActPtc) the law,H8451 happyH835 [is] he.

[21] He that delicately bringeth upH6445(PielPtc) his servantH5650 from a childH5290 shall have him become [his] sonH4497 at the length.H319 [22] An angryH639 manH376 stirreth upH1624(PielImpf) strife,H4066 and a furiousH2534 manH1167 aboundeth inH7227 transgression.H6588 [23] A man’sH120 prideH1346 shall bring him low:H8213(HiphImpf) but honourH3519 shall upholdH8551(QalImpf) the humbleH8217 in spirit.H7307 [24] Whoso is partnerH2505(QalActPtc) with a thiefH1590 hatethH8130(QalActPtc) his own soul:H5315 he hearethH8085(QalImpf) cursing,H423 and bewrayethH5046(HiphImpf) [it] not. [25] The fearH2731 of manH120 bringethH5414(QalImpf) a snare:H4170 but whoso putteth his trustH982(QalActPtc) in the LordH3068 shall be safe.H7682(PualImpf) [26] ManyH7227 seekH1245(PielPtc) the ruler’sH4910(QalActPtc) favour;H6440 but [every] man’sH376 judgmentH4941 [cometh] from the Lord.H3068 [27] An unjustH5766 manH376 [is] an abominationH8441 to the just:H6662 and [he that is] uprightH3477 in the wayH1870 [is] abominationH8441 to the wicked.H7563
