1He, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, Shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy.
2When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: But when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.
3Whoso loveth wisdom rejoiceth his father: But he that keepeth company with harlots spendeth his substance.
4The king by judgment stablisheth the land: But he that receiveth gifts overthroweth it.
