He, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, Shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy.
In context
1 He, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, Shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy. 2 When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: But when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn. 3 Whoso loveth wisdom rejoiceth his father: But he that keepeth company with harlots spendeth his substance. 4 The king by judgment establisheth the land: But he that receiveth gifts overthroweth it.
