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 is 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.
