8Lawless men burn down a city: But wise men turn away wrath.
9A wise man shall judge nations: But a worthless man being angry laughs and fears not.
10Bloody men hate a holy person, But the upright will seek his soul.
11A fool utters all his mind: But the wise reserves his in part.
12When a king hearkens to unjust language, All his subjects are transgressors.
13When the creditor and debtor meet together, The Lord oversees them both.
14When a king judges the poor in truth, His throne shall be established for a testimony.
15Stripes and reproofs give wisdom: But an erring child disgraces his parents.
16When the ungodly abound, sins abound: But when they fall, the righteous are warned.
17Chasten thy son, and he shall give thee rest; And he shall give honor to thy soul.
