## Text

[1] A man who remains stiff-necked after much reproof
will suddenly be shattered beyond recovery. [2] When the righteous flourish, the people rejoice,
but when the wicked rule, the people groan. [3] A man who loves wisdom brings joy to his father,
but a companion of prostitutes squanders his wealth. [4] By justice a king brings stability to the land,
but a man who exacts tribute demolishes it. [5] A man who flatters his neighbor
spreads a net for his feet. [6] An evil man is caught by his own sin,
but a righteous one sings and rejoices. [7] The righteous consider the cause of the poor,
but the wicked have no regard for such concerns. [8] Mockers inflame a city,
but the wise turn away anger. [9] If a wise man goes to court with a fool,
there will be raving and laughing with no resolution. [10] Men of bloodshed hate a blameless man,
but the upright care for his life. [11] A fool vents all his anger,
but a wise man holds it back. [12] If a ruler listens to lies,
all his officials will be wicked. [13] The poor man and the oppressor have this in common:
The LORD gives light to the eyes of both. [14] A king who judges the poor with fairness—
his throne will be established forever. [15] A rod of correction imparts wisdom,
but a child left to himself disgraces his mother. [16] When the wicked thrive, rebellion increases;
but the righteous will see their downfall. [17] Discipline your son, and he will give you rest;
he will bring delight to your soul. [18] Where there is no vision, the people cast off restraint;
but blessed is he who keeps the Law. [19] A servant cannot be corrected by words alone;
though he understands, he will not respond. [20] Do you see a man who speaks in haste?
There is more hope for a fool than for him. [21] A servant pampered from his youth
will bring grief in the end. [22] An angry man stirs up dissension,
and a hot-tempered man abounds in transgression. [23] A man’s pride will bring him low,
but a humble spirit will obtain honor. [24] A partner to a thief hates his own soul;
he receives the oath, but does not testify. [25] The fear of man is a snare,
but whoever trusts in the LORD is set securely on high. [26] Many seek the ruler’s favor,
but a man receives justice from the LORD. [27] An unjust man is detestable to the righteous,
and one whose way is upright is detestable to the wicked.
