He who is obstinate, in spite of many a warning,
will suddenly be done for.
2When good men are in power, people rejoice;
but when a bad man rules, the people groan.
3He who loves wisdom is his father’s joy:
a friend of harlots wastes his wealth.
4A king will make the country flourish by his justice
he who extorts money brings it low.
5A man who flatters his fellow
is spreading a net to trip him up.
6A bad man is snared by his own sin,
but good men can go forward happily.
7A good man cares for the rights of the poor;
a bad man has no interest in them.
8Unscrupulous men kindle strife in a city:
the sensible discourage party-spirit.
9If a wise man takes a fool into court,
he gets no peace, whether the fool storms or laughs.
10Blood-thirsty creatures hate a blameless man;
the upright plan how to protect him.
11A fool blurts out his wrath;
a wise man keeps his anger to himself.
12When a ruler listens to false accusations,
his servants become scoundrels.
13Side by side the poor and the oppressor stand:
both get their light of life from the Eternal.
14If a king governs the poor with equity,
his throne shall stand for ever.
15The rod of reproof brings wisdom:
a child left to himself will cause his mother shame.
16[[When bad men are in power, then crime increases
but good men shall yet gloat over their downfall.]]
17Chastise your son, and have an easy mind:
he will delight your soul.
18People break loose without a guiding hand,
but happy are the law-abiding!
19Mere words will never train a slave;
he understands, but he will not obey.
21A spoiled boy sinks to be a slave,
and comes to grief at last.
20You see a hasty man?
More hope for a fool than for him!
22A man of passion stirs up strife;
hot temper is the cause of many a sin.
23Man’s pride will lay him low:
lowly souls rise to honour.
24The partner of a thief is his own enemy . .
he swears to tell the truth, and he discloses nothing.
25The fear of man is dangerous;
but he who trusts in the Eternal shall be safe.
26Many bespeak a ruler’s favour;
but a man’s fate is fixed by the Eternal.
27The good man loathes the villain
the villain loathes the upright. * * *
