12A prince that gladly heareth lying words, hath all his servants wicked.
13The poor man and the creditor have met one another: the Lord is the enlightener of them both.
14The king that judgeth the poor in truth, his throne shall be established for ever.
15The rod and reproof give wisdom: but the child that is left to his own will bringeth his mother to shame.
16When the wicked are multiplied, crimes shall be multiplied: but the just shall see their downfall.
17Instruct thy son, and he shall refresh thee, and shall give delight to thy soul.
18When prophecy shall fail, the people shall be scattered abroad: but he that keepeth the law is blessed.
19A slave will not be corrected by words: because he understandeth what thou sayest, and will not answer.
20Hast thou seen a man hasty to speak? folly is rather to be looked for, than his amendment.
21He that nourisheth his servant delicately from his childhood, afterwards shall find him stubborn.
22A passionate man provoketh quarrels: and he that is easily stirred up to wrath, shall be more prone to sin.
