11A fool spendeth all his spirit; but a wise man stilleth it within him.
12If a ruler hearkeneth to falsehood, all his servants are wicked.
13The poor man and the oppressor meet together; the LORD giveth light to the eyes of them both.
14The king that faithfully judgeth the poor, his throne shall be established for ever.
15The rod and reproof give wisdom; but a child left to himself causeth shame to his mother.
16When the wicked are increased, transgression increaseth; but the righteous shall gaze upon their fall.
17Correct thy son, and he will give thee rest; yea, he will give delight unto thy soul.
18Where there is no vision, the people cast off restraint; but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.
19A servant will not be corrected by words; for though he understand, there will be no response.
20Seest thou a man that is hasty in his words? there is more hope for a fool than for him.
21He that delicately bringeth up his servant from a child shall have him become master at the last.
22An angry man stirreth up strife, and a wrathful man aboundeth in transgression.
23A man's pride shall bring him low; but he that is of a lowly spirit shall attain to honour.
24Whoso is partner with a thief hateth his own soul: he heareth the adjuration and uttereth nothing.
25The fear of man bringeth a snare; but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be set up on high.
