Men full of pestilence destroy a city; but wise men turn away strong vengeance.
9
If a wise man striveth with a fool, whether he be wroth, or laugh, he shall not find rest.
10
Men-quellers hate a simple man; but just men seek his soul. (Murderers hate honest people; but the righteous seek them out.)
11
A fool bringeth forth all his spirit; a wise man delayeth, and reserveth into (the) time (to) coming afterward.
12
A prince that heareth willfully the words of leasing, shall have all his servants unfaithful. (A ruler who willingly listeneth to lies, shall have servants who all be unfaithful./If a ruler willingly listeneth to lies, then all of his servants shall be unfaithful.)
13
A poor man and a lender met themselves; the Lord is [the] lightener of ever either. (A poor person and a lender met together; the Lord lighteneth the burdens of both of them.)
14
If a king deemeth poor men in truth, his throne shall be made steadfast [into] without end. (If a king judgeth the poor with honesty, his throne shall be made secure forever.)
15
A rod and chastising shall give wisdom; but a child, that is left to his own will, shameth his mother.
16
Great trespasses shall be multiplied in the multiplying of wicked men; and just men shall see the fallings of them. (Great trespasses shall be multiplied when the wicked rule; but the righteous shall see the falling of them.)
17
Teach thy son, and he shall comfort thee (and he shall be a comfort to thee); and he shall give delights to thy soul.
18
When prophecy faileth, the people shall be destroyed; but he that keepeth the law, is blessed (but he who obeyeth the Law, is blessed).
