1. He who is often reproved, yet hardens his neck,will suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy.
2. When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice;but when the wicked rule, the people mourn.
3. Whoever loves wisdom rejoices his father,but he who keeps company with harlots spends his substance.
4. The king establishes the land by judgment,but he who receives bribes overthrowsit.
