El hombre que después de mucha reprensión endurece la cerviz,de repente será quebrantado sin remedio¹^a.2 Cuando los justos aumentan¹, el pueblo se alegra^a;pero cuando el impío gobierna, el pueblo gime.3 Él que ama la sabiduría alegra a su padre^a,pero el que anda con rameras malgasta su fortuna^b.4 El rey con la justicia¹ afianza la tierra^a,pero el hombre que acepta soborno la destruye.5 El hombre que adula^a a su prójimotiende una red ante¹ sus pasos.6 El hombre malo es atrapado^a en la transgresión,pero el justo canta y se regocija^b.7 El justo se preocupa por¹ la causa de los pobres^a,pero el impío no entiende tal preocupación².8 Los escarnecedores agitan la ciudad^a,pero los sabios alejan la ira^b.9 Cuando un sabio tiene controversia con un necio,este se enoja o se ríe, y no hay sosiego.10 Los hombres sanguinarios odian al intachable¹^a,pero los rectos se preocupan por² su alma.11 El necio da rienda suelta a su ira¹^a,pero el sabio la reprime^b.12 Si un gobernante presta atención a palabras mentirosas^a,todos sus servidores se vuelven impíos.13 El pobre y el opresor tienen esto en común¹^a:el SEÑOR da la luz a los ojos^b de ambos.14 El rey que juzga con verdad a los pobres^aafianzará su trono para siempre^b.15 La vara y la reprensión^a dan sabiduría,pero el niño consentido¹ avergüenza a su madre^b.16 Cuando aumentan¹ los impíos, aumenta la transgresión,pero los justos verán su caída^a.17 Corrige a tu hijo^a y te dará descanso,y dará alegría¹ a tu alma^b.18 Donde no hay visión¹^a, el pueblo se desenfrena^b,pero bienaventurado es el que guarda la ley^c.19 Un siervo no se corrigesolo con palabras;aunque entienda, no responderá¹.20 ¿Ves a un hombre precipitado en sus palabras^a?Más esperanza hay para el necio que para él^b.21 Él que mima a su siervo desde la niñez,al final lo tendrá por hijo¹.22 El hombre airado suscita rencillas^a,y el hombre violento abunda en transgresiones.23 El orgullo del hombre lo humillará^a,pero el de espíritu humilde obtendrá honores^b.24 Él que se asocia con un ladrón aborrece su propia vida¹;oye el juramento², pero no dice nada^a.25 El temor al hombre es¹ un lazo^a,pero el que confía en el SEÑOR estará seguro²^b.26 Muchos buscan el favor¹ del gobernante^a,pero del SEÑOR viene la justicia² para el hombre^b.27 Abominación para los justos es el inicuo^a,y abominación para el impío el recto en su camino^b.

Warnings and Instructions

He who hardens his neck and refuses instruction after being ^aoften reproved (corrected, criticized) ,Will ^bsuddenly be broken beyond repair.2 When the ^arighteous are in authority and become great, the people rejoice;But when the wicked man rules, the people groan and sigh.3 A man who ^aloves skillful and godly wisdom makes his father joyful,But he who ^bassociates with prostitutes wastes his wealth.4 The ^aking establishes (stabilizes) the land by justice,But a man who takes bribes overthrows it.5 A man who ^aflatters his neighbor with smooth words intending to do harmIs spreading a net for his own feet.6 By his wicked plan an evil man is ^atrapped,But the righteous man ^bsings and rejoices for his plan brings good things to him.7 The ^arighteous man cares for the rights of the poor,But the wicked man has no interest in such knowledge. Job 29:16; 31:13; Ps 41:18 Scoffers ^aset a city afire by stirring up trouble,But ^bwise men turn away anger and restore order with their good judgment.9 If a wise man has a controversy with a foolish and arrogant man,The foolish man ignores logic and fairness and only rages or laughs, and there is no peace (rest, agreement) .10 The ^abloodthirsty hate the blameless because of his integrity,But the upright are concerned for his life. Gen 4:5, 8; 1+@John 3:1211 A shortsighted ^afool always loses his temper and displays his anger,But a ^bwise man uses self-control and holds it back.12 If a ^aruler pays attention to lies and encourages corruption,All his officials will become wicked.13 The ^apoor man and the oppressor have this in common:The LORD gives ^blight to the eyes of both. Prov 22:214 If a ^aking faithfully and truthfully judges the poor,His ^bthrone shall be established forever.15 The ^arod and reproof (godly instruction) give wisdom,But a child who gets his own way ^bbrings shame to his mother.16 When the wicked are in authority, transgression increases,But the ^arighteous will see the downfall of the wicked.17 ^aCorrect your son, and he will give you comfort;Yes, he will ^bdelight your soul.18 Where there is no ^avision no revelation of God and His word, the people ^bare unrestrained;But ^chappy and blessed is he who keeps the law of God. 1+@Sam 3:1; Amos 8:11, 1219 A servant will not be corrected by words alone;For though he understands, he will not respond nor pay attention.20 Do you see a conceited man ^awho speaks quickly offering his opinions or answering without thinking?There is ^bmore hope for a thickheaded ¹fool than for him.21 He who pampers his slave from childhoodWill find him to be a son in the end.22 An ^aangry man stirs up strife,And a hot-tempered and undisciplined man commits many transgressions.23 A man’s ^apride and sense of self-importance will bring him down,But he who has a ^bhumble spirit will obtain honor. Prov 15:33; 18:12; Is 66:2; Dan 4:30; Matt 23:12; James 4:6, 10; 1+@Pet 5:524 Whoever is partner with a thief hates his own life;He ^ahears the curse when swearing an oath to testify, but discloses nothing and commits perjury by omission.25 The ^afear of man brings a snare,But whoever ^btrusts in and puts his confidence in the LORD will be exalted and safe.26 ^aMany seek the ruler’s favor,But ^bjustice for man comes from the LORD.27 An ^aunjust man is repulsive to the righteous,And he who is ^bupright in the way of the LORD is repulsive to the wicked.
