The man that with a stiff neck despiseth him that reproveth him, shall suddenly be destroyed: and health shall not follow him.

When just men increase, the people shall rejoice: when the wicked shall bear rule, the people shall mourn.

If a wise man contend with a fool, whether he be angry or laugh, he shall find no rest.

The rod and reproof give wisdom: but the child that is left to his own will bringeth his mother to shame.
16 Ke pacl mwet koluk uh kol, ma koluk ac yokelik. Tusruktu mwet suwoswos ac fah moul ac liye ke mwet inge tila kol.
When the wicked are multiplied, crimes shall be multiplied: but the just shall see their downfall.
17 Kai wen nutum, ac kom ac fah insewowo sel pacl nukewa. El ac fah tiana akmwekinye kom.

He that is partaker with a thief, hateth his own soul: he heareth one putting him to his oath, and discovereth not.

He that feareth man, shall quickly fall: he that trusteth in the Lord, shall be set on high.
