Warnings and Instructions
1Siapa bersitegang leher, walaupun telah mendapat teguran, akan sekonyong-konyong diremukkan tanpa dapat dipulihkan lagi. 2Jika orang benar bertambah, bersukacitalah rakyat, tetapi jika orang fasik memerintah, berkeluhkesahlah rakyat. 3Orang yang mencintai hikmat menggembirakan ayahnya, tetapi siapa yang bergaul dengan pelacur memboroskan harta. 4Dengan keadilan seorang raja menegakkan negerinya, tetapi orang yang memungut banyak pajak meruntuhkannya. 5Orang yang menjilat sesamanya membentangkan jerat di depan kakinya. 6Orang yang jahat terjerat oleh pelanggarannya, tetapi orang benar akan bersorak dan bersukacita. 7Orang benar mengetahui hak orang lemah, tetapi orang fasik tidak mengertinya. 8Pencemooh mengacaukan kota, tetapi orang bijak meredakan amarah. 9Jika orang bijak beperkara dengan orang bodoh, orang bodoh ini mengamuk dan tertawa, sehingga tak ada ketenangan. 10Orang yang haus akan darah membenci orang saleh, tetapi orang yang jujur mencari keselamatannya. 11Orang bebal melampiaskan seluruh amarahnya, tetapi orang bijak akhirnya meredakannya. 12Kalau pemerintah memperhatikan kebohongan, semua pegawainya menjadi fasik. 13Si miskin dan si penindas bertemu, dan TUHAN membuat mata kedua orang itu bersinar. 14Raja yang menghakimi orang lemah dengan adil, takhtanya tetap kokoh untuk selama-lamanya. 15Tongkat dan teguran mendatangkan hikmat, tetapi anak yang dibiarkan mempermalukan ibunya. 16Jika orang fasik bertambah, bertambahlah pula pelanggaran, tetapi orang benar akan melihat keruntuhan mereka. 17Didiklah anakmu, maka ia akan memberikan ketenteraman kepadamu, dan mendatangkan sukacita kepadamu.
1A person often rebuked who becomes obstinate
Will suddenly be broken beyond remedy. 2When the righteous increase, the people rejoice,
But when a wicked person rules, people groan. 3A man who loves wisdom makes his father glad,
But he who involves himself with prostitutes wastes his wealth. 4The king gives stability to the land by justice,
But a person who takes bribes ruins it. 5A man who flatters his neighbor
Is spreading a net for his steps. 6By wrongdoing an evil person is ensnared,
But the righteous sings and rejoices. 7The righteous is concerned for the rights of the poor;
The wicked does not understand such concern. 8Arrogant people inflame a city,
But wise people turn away anger. 9When a wise person has a controversy with a foolish person,
The foolish person either rages or laughs, and there is no rest. 10People of bloodshed hate the blameless person,
But the upright are concerned for his life. 11A fool always loses his temper,
But a wise person holds it back. 12If a ruler pays attention to falsehood,
All his ministers become wicked. 13The poor person and the oppressor have this in common:
The LORD gives light to the eyes of both. 14If a king judges the poor with truth,
His throne will be established forever. 15The rod and a rebuke give wisdom,
But a child who gets his own way brings shame to his mother. 16When the wicked increase, wrongdoing increases;
But the righteous will see their downfall. 17Correct your son, and he will give you comfort;
He will also delight your soul.

18Bila tidak ada wahyu, menjadi liarlah rakyat. Berbahagialah orang yang berpegang pada hukum. 19Dengan kata-kata saja seorang hamba tidak dapat diajari, sebab walaupun ia mengerti, namun ia tidak mengindahkannya. 20Kaulihat orang yang cepat dengan kata-katanya; harapan lebih banyak bagi orang bebal dari pada bagi orang itu. 21Siapa memanjakan hambanya sejak muda, akhirnya menjadikan dia keras kepala. 22Si pemarah menimbulkan pertengkaran, dan orang yang lekas gusar, banyak pelanggarannya. 23Keangkuhan merendahkan orang, tetapi orang yang rendah hati, menerima pujian. 24Siapa menerima bagian dari pencuri, membenci dirinya. Didengarnya kutuk, tetapi tidak diberitahukannya. 25Takut kepada orang mendatangkan jerat, tetapi siapa percaya kepada TUHAN, dilindungi. 26Banyak orang mencari muka pada pemerintah, tetapi dari TUHAN orang menerima keadilan. 27Orang bodoh adalah kekejian bagi orang benar, orang yang jujur jalannya adalah kekejian bagi orang fasik.
18Where there is no vision, the people are unrestrained,
But happy is one who keeps the Law. 19A slave will not be instructed by words alone;
For though he understands, there will be no response. 20Do you see a person who is hasty with his words?
There is more hope for a fool than for him. 21One who pampers his slave from childhood
Will in the end find him to be rebellious. 22An angry person stirs up strife,
And a hot-tempered person abounds in wrongdoing. 23A person’s pride will bring him low,
But a humble spirit will obtain honor. 24One who is a partner with a thief hates his own life;
He hears the oath but tells nothing. 25The fear of man brings a snare,
But one who trusts in the LORD will be protected. 26Many seek the ruler’s favor,
But justice for mankind comes from the LORD. 27An unjust person is an abomination to the righteous,
And one who is upright in the way is an abomination to the wicked.
