12
If a ruler pays attention to lies, All his servants become wicked.
13
The poor man and the oppressor have this in common: The Lord gives light to the eyes of both.
14
The king who judges the poor with truth, His throne will be established forever.
15
The rod and rebuke give wisdom, But a child left to himself brings shame to his mother.
16
When the wicked are multiplied, transgression increases; But the righteous will see their fall.
17
Correct your son, and he will give you rest; Yes, he will give delight to your soul.
18
Where there is no revelation, the people cast off restraint; But happy is he who keeps the law.
19
A servant will not be corrected by mere words; For though he understands, he will not respond.
20
Do you see a man hasty in his words? There is more hope for a fool than for him.
21
He who pampers his servant from childhood Will have him as a son in the end.
22
An angry man stirs up strife, And a furious man abounds in transgression.
