¹⁰ A reproof entereth more into a wise man
    than an hundred stripes into a fool.

¹¹ An evil man seeketh only rebellion:
    therefore a cruel messenger shall be sent against him.

²⁰ Hear counsel, and receive instruction,
    that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end.

²⁷ Cease, my son, to hear the instruction
    that causeth to err from the words of knowledge.

² The fear of a king is as the roaring of a lion:
    whoso provoketh him to anger sinneth against his own soul.

⁶ Most men will proclaim every one his own goodness:
    but a faithful man who can find?

⁸ A king that sitteth in the throne of judgment
    scattereth away all evil with his eyes.

¹¹ Even a child is known by his doings,
    whether his work be pure, and whether it be right.

³⁰ The blueness of a wound cleanseth away evil:
    so do stripes the inward parts of the belly.

21 The king’s heart is in the hand of the Lord, as the rivers of water:
    he turneth it whithersoever he will.

¹¹ He that loveth pureness of heart,
    for the grace of his lips the king shall be his friend.
