7. The righteous[H6662] taketh[H3045] knowledge of the cause[H1779] of the poor[H1800]; The wicked[H7563] hath not understanding[H995] to know it[H1847].
8. Scoffers[H3944, 582] set[H6315] a city[H7151] in a flame[H6315]; But wise[H2450] men turn away[H7725] wrath[H639].
9. If a wise[H2450] man[H376] hath a controversy[H8199] with a foolish[H191] man[H376], Whether he be angry[H7264] or laugh[H7832], there will be no rest[H5183].

15. The rod[H7626] and reproof[H8433] give[H5414] wisdom[H2451]; But a child[H5288] left[H7971] to himself causeth shame[H954] to his mother[H517].
16. When the wicked[H7563] are increased[H7235], transgression[H6588] increaseth[H7235]; But the righteous[H6662] shall look[H7200] upon their fall[H4658].
17. Correct[H3256] thy son[H1121], and he will give thee rest[H5117]; Yea[H5414], he will give delight[H4574] unto thy soul[H5315].

20. Seest[H2372] thou a man[H376] that is hasty[H213] in his words[H1697]? There is more hope[H8615] of a fool than of him[H3684].
21. He that delicately bringeth up[H6445] his servant[H5650] from a child[H5290] Shall have him become a son[H4497] at the last[H319].

24. Whoso is partner[H2505] with a thief[H1590] hateth[H8130] his own soul[H5315]; He heareth[H8085] the adjuration[H423] and uttereth nothing[H5046].
25. The fear[H2731] of man[H120] bringeth[H5414] a snare[H4170]; But whoso putteth his trust[H982] in Jehovah[H3068] shall be safe[H7682].
