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.
23
A man's pride will bring him low, But the humble in spirit will retain honor.
24
Whoever is a partner with a thief hates his own life; He swears to tell the truth, but reveals nothing.
25
The fear of man brings a snare, But whoever trusts in the Lord shall be safe.
26
Many seek the ruler's favor, But justice for man comes from the Lord.
