When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked [man] rules, the people groan. Whoever loves wisdom makes his father rejoice, But a companion of harlots wastes [his] wealth. The king establishes the land by justice, But he who receives bribes overthrows it. A man who flatters his neighbor Spreads a net for his feet. By transgression an evil man is snared, But the righteous sings and rejoices. The righteous considers the cause of the poor, [But] the wicked does not understand [such] knowledge. Scoffers set a city aflame, But wise [men] turn away wrath. [If] a wise man contends with a foolish man, Whether [the fool] rages or laughs, [there is] no peace. The bloodthirsty hate the blameless, But the upright seek his well-being. A fool vents all his feelings, But a wise [man] holds them back. If a ruler pays attention to lies, All his servants [become] wicked. The poor [man] and the oppressor have this in common: The LORD gives light to the eyes of both. The king who judges the poor with truth, His throne will be established forever. The rod and rebuke give wisdom, But a child left [to himself] brings shame to his mother. When the wicked are multiplied, transgression increases; But the righteous will see their fall. Correct your son, and he will give you rest; Yes, he will give delight to your soul. Where [there is] no revelation, the people cast off restraint; But happy [is] he who keeps the law. A servant will not be corrected by mere words; For though he understands, he will not respond. Do you see a man hasty in his words? [There is] more hope for a fool than for him. He who pampers his servant from childhood Will have him as a son in the end. An angry man stirs up strife, And a furious man abounds in transgression. A man's pride will bring him low, But the humble in spirit will retain honor. Whoever is a partner with a thief hates his own life; He swears to tell the truth, but reveals nothing. The fear of man brings a snare, But whoever trusts in the LORD shall be safe. Many seek the ruler's favor, But justice for man [comes] from the LORD. An unjust man [is] an abomination to the righteous, And [he who is] upright in the way [is] an abomination to the wicked.
