A wise servant shall have rule over a son who causes shame, and shall have part of the inheritance among the brothers.

Luxury is not becoming for a fool; much less for a servant to have rule over princes.

The judgment of a man puts off his anger; and it is his glory to pass over a transgression.

A wise king scatters the wicked and brings the wheel over them.

The rich rules over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender.

and, lo, it was all grown over with thorns, and nettles had covered the face of it, and its stone wall was broken down.

In being slow to anger a ruler is won over, and a soft tongue breaks the bone.

He who has no rule over his own spirit is like a broken down city without a wall.

He who passes by enraging himself over strife not his own is like one who takes a dog by the ears,

Like a roaring lion and a ranging bear, so is a wicked ruler over the helpless people.
