1. Those stiff-necked in the face of reproofin an instant will be shattered beyond cure.
2. When the just flourish, the people rejoice;but when the wicked rule, the people groan.
3. Whoever loves wisdom gives joy to his father,but whoever consorts with harlots squanders his wealth.
4. By justice a king builds up the land;but one who raises taxes tears it down.
5. Those who speak flattery to their neighborcast a net at their feet.
6. The sin of the wicked is a trap,but the just run along joyfully.
