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.
