8 ¹Scoffers 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 ²no quiet.

10 Bloodthirsty men ³hate one who is blameless and seek the life of the upright.^a

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.

13 The poor man and the oppressor ⁴meet together; the LORD ⁵ gives light to the eyes of both.

14 If a king ⁶faithfully judges the poor, his throne will ⁷be established forever.

15 ⁸The rod and reproof give wisdom, but a child left to himself ⁹brings shame to his mother.

16 When the wicked increase, transgression increases, but ¹⁰the righteous will look upon their downfall.

17 ¹¹Discipline your son, and he will give you rest; he will give delight to your heart.

18 Where ¹²there is no prophetic vision the people ¹³cast off restraint,^b but blessed is he who ¹⁴keeps the law.

19 By mere words a servant is not disciplined, for though he understands, he will not respond.

20 Do you see a man who is hasty in his words? ¹⁵There is more hope for a fool than for him.

21 Whoever pampers his servant from childhood will in the end find him his heir.^c

22 ¹⁶A man of wrath stirs up strife, and one given to anger causes much transgression.

23 ¹⁷One's pride will bring him low, ¹⁸but he who is lowly in spirit will obtain honor.

24 The partner of a thief ¹⁹hates his own life; ²⁰he hears the curse, but discloses nothing.

25 ²¹The fear of man lays a snare, but whoever trusts in the LORD is safe.

26 Many ²²seek the face of a ruler, but it is from the LORD that a man ²³gets justice.

27 ²⁴An unjust man is an abomination to the righteous, but one whose way is straight is an abomination to the wicked.
