1. A man often reproved, hardening the neck, Is suddenly broken, and there is no healing.
2. In the multiplying of the righteous the people rejoice, And in the ruling of the wicked the people sigh.
3. A man loving wisdom rejoiceth his father, And a friend of harlots destroyeth wealth.
4. A king by judgment establisheth a land, And one receiving gifts throweth it down.
5. A man taking a portion above his neighbour, Spreadeth a net for his own steps.
