Proverbs

¹¹A fool uttereth all his anger: but a wise man keepeth it back and stilleth it. ¹²If a ruler hearkeneth to falsehood, all his servants are wicked. ¹³The poor man and the oppressor meet together: the LORD lighteneth the eyes of them both. ¹⁴The king that faithfully judgeth the poor, his throne shall be established for ever. ¹⁵The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself causeth shame to his mother. ¹⁶When the wicked are increased, transgression increaseth: but the righteous shall look upon their fall. ¹⁷Correct thy son, and he shall give thee rest; yea, he shall give delight unto thy soul.
