12 If a ruler listens to falsehood, all his officials will be wicked.

13 The poor man and the oppressor ¹meet together; the LORD ² gives light to the eyes of both.

14 If a king ³faithfully judges the poor, his throne will ⁴be established forever.

15 ⁵The rod and reproof give wisdom, but a child left to himself ⁶brings shame to his mother.

16 When the wicked increase, transgression increases, but ⁷the righteous will look upon their downfall.

17 ⁸Discipline your son, and he will give you rest; he will give delight to your heart.

18 Where ⁹there is no prophetic vision the people ¹⁰cast off restraint,^a but blessed is he who ¹¹keeps the law.

19 By mere words a servant is not disciplined, for though he understands, he will not respond.

20 Do you see a man who is hasty in his words? ¹²There is more hope for a fool than for him.

21 Whoever pampers his servant from childhood will in the end find him his heir.^b

22 ¹³A man of wrath stirs up strife, and one given to anger causes much transgression.

23 ¹⁴One's pride will bring him low, ¹⁵but he who is lowly in spirit will obtain honor.

24 The partner of a thief ¹⁶hates his own life; ¹⁷he hears the curse, but discloses nothing.

25 ¹⁸The fear of man lays a snare, but whoever trusts in the LORD is safe.

26 Many ¹⁹seek the face of a ruler, but it is from the LORD that a man ²⁰gets justice.

27 ²¹An unjust man is an abomination to the righteous, but one whose way is straight is an abomination to the wicked.
