15The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame.
16When the wicked are multiplied, transgression increaseth: but the righteous shall see their fall.
17Correct thy son, and he shall give thee rest; yes, he shall give delight to thy soul.
18Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.
19A servant will not be corrected by words: for though he understandeth, he will not answer.
20Seest thou a man that is hasty in his words? there is more hope of a fool than of him.
21He that delicately bringeth up his servant from a child shall have him at length become his son.
22An angry man stirreth up strife, and a furious man aboundeth in transgression.
23A man's pride shall bring him low: but honor shall uphold the humble in spirit.
24Whoever is partner with a thief, hateth his own soul: he heareth cursing, and discloseth it not.
25The fear of man bringeth a snare: but he who putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe.
26Many seek the ruler's favor; but every man's judgment cometh from the LORD.
