11 A fool vents all of his anger, But a wise man brings himself under control.
12 If a ruler listens to lies, All of his officials are wicked.
13 The poor man and the oppressor have this in common: Yahweh gives sight to the eyes of both.
14 The king who fairly judges the poor, His throne shall be established forever.
15 The rod of correction gives wisdom, But a child left to himself causes shame to his mother.
16 When the wicked increase, sin increases; But the righteous will see their downfall.
17 Correct your son, and he will give you peace; Yes, he will bring delight to your soul.
