11 A fool lets out all his breath, But the wise calms it down.
12 If a ruler listens to lying words, All his servants become wrong.
13 The poor man and the oppressor have this in common: יהוה gives light to the eyes of both.
14 The sovereign who rightly rules the poor with truth, His throne is established forever.
15 A rod and reproof give wisdom, But a child unrestrained brings shame to his mother.
16 When the wrong become many, transgression increases; But the righteous look on their fall.
17 Discipline your son, And he brings you rest and delight to your life.
