Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1The man that with a stiff neck despiseth him that reproveth him, shall suddenly be destroyed: and health shall not follow him.
1人屢次受責罰，仍然硬着頸項； 他必頃刻敗壞，無法可治。
2When just men increase, the people shall rejoice: when the wicked shall bear rule, the people shall mourn.
2義人增多，民就喜樂； 惡人掌權，民就歎息。
3A man that loveth wisdom, rejoiceth his father: but he that maintaineth bar lots, shall squander away his substance.

6惡人犯罪，自陷網羅； 惟獨義人歡呼喜樂。
7The just taketh notice of the cause of the poor: the wicked is void of knowledge.

14君王憑誠實判斷窮人； 他的國位必永遠堅立。
15The rod and reproof give wisdom: but the child that is left to his own will bringeth his mother to shame.
