11 A foolish one offers everything on his mind. A wise one reserves and defers until later.
12 A leader who freely listens to lying words has only impious servants.
13 The pauper and the creditor have met one another. The Lord is the illuminator of them both.
14 The king who judges the poor in truth, his throne shall be secured in eternity.
15 The rod and its correction distribute wisdom. But the child who is left to his own will brings shame to his mother.
16 When the impious are multiplied, crimes will be multiplied. But the just shall see their ruin.
17 Teach your son, and he will refresh you, and he will give delight to your soul.
