Where there's no vision
A man who is often corrected and still hardens his neck will suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy. When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; when the wicked rule, the people mourn. Whoever loves wisdom makes his father glad, but whoever keeps company with prostitutes wastes his wealth. A king establishes the land by judgment, but one who receives gifts overthrows it. A man who flatters his neighbour spreads a net for his feet. An evil man's wrongdoing is a snare to him, but the righteous sings and rejoices. The righteous considers the cause of the poor, but the wicked doesn't care to know it. Mockers set a city on fire, but wise men turn away anger. If a wise man argues with a foolish man, whether the fool rages or laughs, there is no rest. The bloodthirsty hate the upright, but the just seek to preserve his life. A fool pours out all his mind, but a wise man keeps it back until afterwards. If a ruler listens to lies, all his servants become wicked. The poor man and the deceitful man meet together; the LORD gives light to the eyes of both. A king who faithfully judges the poor will have his throne established forever.
A man who's often told off and hardens his neck will be broken suddenly, and there'll be no healing. When the righteous are in power, the people celebrate.

In the wrongdoing of an evil man there's a snare, but the righteous sings and is glad. The righteous thinks about the case of the poor, but the wicked doesn't care to know it. Mocking men set a town on fire, but wise men turn away anger. If a wise man argues with a foolish man, whether he rages or laughs, there's no rest. The bloodthirsty hate the whole man, but the upright look for his soul. A fool lets out all his mind, but a wise man keeps it back till afterwards. If a ruler listens to lies, all his servants are wicked. The poor and the one who crushes him meet together. The Lord gives light to the eyes of both of them. The king who judges the poor faithfully — his throne will be set up forever.
He, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy. When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn. Whoso loveth wisdom rejoiceth his father: but he that keepeth company with harlots spendeth his substance. The king by judgment establisheth the land: but he that receiveth gifts overthroweth it. A man that flattereth his neighbour spreadeth a net for his feet. In the transgression of an evil man there is a snare: but the righteous doth sing and rejoice.

Pride brings a man low
The rod and correction give wisdom, but a child left to himself brings his mother to shame. When the wicked multiply, wrongdoing increases, but the righteous will see their fall. Correct your son and he'll give you rest; yes, he'll delight your soul. Where there is no vision, the people perish; but whoever keeps the law is blessed. A servant won't be corrected by words alone; though he understands, he will not answer. Do you see a man who is hasty with his words? There is more hope for a fool than for him. Whoever brings up his servant delicately from childhood will have him become as a son in the end. An angry man stirs up conflict, and a furious man abounds in wrongdoing. A man's pride will bring him low, but honour will uphold the humble in spirit. Whoever shares with a thief hates his own soul; he hears the oath but says nothing. The fear of man brings a snare, but whoever puts his trust in the LORD will be safe. Many seek the ruler's favour, but every man's judgment comes from the LORD. An unjust man is disgusting to the righteous, and the upright in the way are disgusting to the wicked.
The rod and telling-off give wisdom, but a child left to himself brings his mother to shame. When the wicked grow to be many, stepping over the line grows. But the righteous will see their fall.

A servant won't be set right by words, because though he understands, he won't answer. Do you see a man who's hasty in his words? There's more hope of a fool than of him.

A man's pride will bring him low, but honour will hold up the humble in spirit. Whoever goes shares with a thief hates his own soul. He hears the swearing and doesn't say anything. The fear of man brings a snare, but whoever puts his trust in the Lord will be safe. Plenty look for the ruler's favour, but every man's judgment comes from the Lord.

A servant will not be corrected by words: for though he understand he will not answer. Seest thou a man that is hasty in his words? there is more hope of a fool than of him. He that delicately bringeth up his servant from a child shall have him become his son at the length. An angry man stirreth up strife, and a furious man aboundeth in transgression. A man’s pride shall bring him low: but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit. Whoso is partner with a thief hateth his own soul: he heareth cursing, and bewrayeth it not.

An unjust man is an abomination to the just: and he that is upright in the way is abomination to the wicked.
