1. A man who hardens his neck after much reproof Will suddenly be broken beyond remedy.
2. When the righteous increase, the people rejoice, But when a wicked man rules, people groan.
3. A man who loves wisdom makes his father glad, But he who keeps company with harlots wastes his wealth.
4. The king gives stability to the land by justice, But a man who takes bribes overthrows it.
5. A man who flatters his neighbor Is spreading a net for his steps.
