10 Bloodthirsty men hate one who is blamelessand seek the life of the upright.
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 meet together;the Lord gives light to the eyes of both.
14 If a king faithfully judges the poor,his throne will be established forever.
15 The rod and reproof give wisdom,but a child left to himself brings shame to his mother.
16 When the wicked increase, transgression increases,but the righteous will look upon their downfall.
