Warnings and Instructions
1
A
man
who
hardens
his
neck
after
1
much
reproof
Will
2
suddenly
be
broken
beyond
remedy
.
2
When the
3
righteous
increase
, the
people
rejoice
, But when a
wicked
man
rules
,
people
groan
.
3
A
man
who
4
loves
wisdom
makes
his
father
glad
, But he who
5
keeps
company
with
harlots
wastes
his
wealth
.
4
The
6
king
gives
stability
to the
land
by
justice
, But a
man
who
takes
bribes
overthrows
it.
5
A
man
who
7
flatters
his
neighbor
Is
spreading
a
net
for his
steps
.
6
By
transgression
an
evil
man
is
8
ensnared
, But the
righteous
9
sings
and
rejoices
.
7
The
10
righteous
is
concerned
for the
rights
of the
poor
, The
wicked
does not
understand
such
concern
.
8
Scorners
*
11
set
a
city
aflame
, But
12
wise
men
turn
away
anger
.
9
When a
wise
man
has
a
controversy
with a
foolish
man
, The foolish man either
rages
or
laughs
, and
there
is
no
rest
.
10
Men
of
13
bloodshed
hate
the
blameless
, But the
upright
are
concerned
for his
life
.
11
A
14
fool
always
loses
his
temper
, But a
15
wise
man
holds
it
back
.
12
If a
16
ruler
pays
attention
to
falsehood
,
All
his
ministers
become
wicked
.
13
The
17
poor
man
and the
oppressor
*
have
this
in
common
: The
LORD
gives
18
light
to the
eyes
of
both
.
14
If a
19
king
judges
the
poor
with
truth
, His
20
throne
will be
established
forever
.
15
The
21
rod
and
reproof
give
wisdom
, But a
child
who
gets
his own
way
22
brings
shame
to his
mother
.
16
When the
wicked
increase
,
transgression
increases
; But the
23
righteous
will
see
their
fall
.
17
24
Correct
your
son
, and he will
give
you
comfort
; He will also
25
delight
your
soul
.
18
Where
there
is
26
no
vision
, the
people
27
are
unrestrained
, But
28
happy
is he who
keeps
the
law
.
19
A
slave
will not be
instructed
by
words
alone; For though he
understands
,
there
will be
no
response
.
20
Do you
see
a
man
who is
29
hasty
in his
words
? There is
30
more
hope
for a
fool
than
for him.
21
He who
pampers
his
slave
from
childhood
Will in the
end
find him to be a
son
.
22
An
31
angry
man
stirs
up
strife
, And a
hot-tempered
man
abounds
in
transgression
.
23
A
man's
32
pride
will
bring
him
low
, But a
33
humble
spirit
will
obtain
honor
.
24
He who is a
partner
with a
thief
hates
his own
life
; He
34
hears
the
oath
but
tells
nothing
.
25
The
35
fear
of
man
brings
a
snare
, But he who
36
trusts
in the
LORD
will be
exalted
.
26
37
Many
seek
the
ruler's
favor
, But
38
justice
for
man
comes from the
LORD
.
27
An
39
unjust
man
is
abominable
to the
righteous
, And he
who
is
40
upright
in the
way
is
abominable
to the
wicked
.
