¹ He who is often reproved, yet stiffens his neck,

will suddenly be broken beyond healing.

² When the righteous increase, the people rejoice,

but when the wicked rule, the people groan.

³ He who loves wisdom makes his father glad,

but a companion of prostitutes squanders his wealth.

⁴ By justice a king builds up the land,

but he who exacts gifts tears it down.

⁵ A man who flatters his neighbor

spreads a net for his feet.

⁶ An evil man is ensnared in his transgression,

but a righteous man sings and rejoices.

⁷ A righteous man knows the rights of the poor;

a wicked man does not understand such knowledge.

⁸ Scoffers set a city aflame,

but the wise turn away wrath.

⁹ If a wise man has an argument with a fool,

the fool only rages and laughs, and there is no quiet.

¹⁰ Bloodthirsty men hate one who is blameless

and seek the life of the upright.

¹¹ A fool gives full vent to his spirit,

but a wise man quietly holds it back.

¹² If a ruler listens to falsehood,

all his officials will be wicked.
