Justice exalteth a nation: but sin maketh nations miserable.

When Ephraim spoke, a horror seized Israel: and he sinned in Baal and died.

In the heart of the prudent resteth wisdom, and it shall instruct all the ignorant.

A wise servant is acceptable to the king: he that is good for nothing shall feel his anger.

For the Lord had humbled Juda because of Achaz the king of Juda: for he had stripped it of help, and had contemned the Lord.

A just king setteth up the land: a covetous man shall destroy it.
