1 He that being often reproved hardeneth his neck Shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy. 2 When the righteous are increased, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man beareth rule, the people sigh. 3 Whoso loveth wisdom rejoiceth his father; But he that keepeth company with harlots wasteth `his' substance. 4 The king by justice establisheth the land; But he that exacteth gifts overthroweth it. 5 A man that flattereth his neighbor Spreadeth a net for his steps. 6 In the transgression of an evil man there is a snare; But the righteous doth sing and rejoice. 7 The righteous taketh knowledge of the cause of the poor; The wicked hath not understanding to know `it'. 8 Scoffers set a city in a flame; But wise men turn away wrath. 9 If a wise man hath a controversy with a foolish man, Whether he be angry or laugh, there will be no rest. 10 The bloodthirsty hate him that is perfect; And as for the upright, they seek his life. 11 A fool uttereth all his anger; But a wise man keepeth it back and stilleth it. 12 If a ruler hearkeneth to falsehood, All his servants are wicked. 13 The poor man and the oppressor meet together; Jehovah lighteneth the eyes of them both. 14 The king that faithfully judgeth the poor, His throne shall be established for ever. 15 The rod and reproof give wisdom; But a child left to himself causeth shame to his mother. 16 When the wicked are increased, transgression increaseth; But the righteous shall look upon their fall. 17 Correct thy son, and he will give thee rest; Yea, he will give delight unto thy soul. 18 Where there is no vision, the people cast off restraint; But he that keepeth the law, happy is he. 19 A servant will not be corrected by words; For though he understand, he will not give heed. 20 Seest thou a man that is hasty in his words? There is more hope of a fool than of him. 21 He that delicately bringeth up his servant from a child Shall have him become a son at the last. 22 An angry man stirreth up strife, And a wrathful man aboundeth in transgression. 23 A man's pride shall bring him low; But he that is of a lowly spirit shall obtain honor. 24 Whoso is partner with a thief hateth his own soul; He heareth the adjuration and uttereth nothing. 25 The fear of man bringeth a snare; But whoso putteth his trust in Jehovah shall be safe. 26 Many seek the ruler's favor; But a man's judgment `cometh' from Jehovah. 27 An unjust man is an abomination to the righteous; And he that is upright in the way is an abomination to the wicked.

He that being often reproved hardeneth his neck Shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy.

From Wikipedia: 

The American Standard Version (ASV) is rooted in the work that was done with the Revised Version (RV) (a late 19th-century British revision of the King James Version of 1611). In 1870, an invitation was extended to American religious leaders for scholars to work on the RV project. A year later, Protestant theologian Philip Schaff chose 30 scholars representing the denominations of Baptist, Congregationalist, Dutch Reformed, Friends, Methodist, Episcopal, Presbyterian, Protestant Episcopal, and Unitarian. These scholars began work in 1872.

The RV New Testament was released In 1881; the Old Testament was published in 1885. The ASV was published in 1901 by Thomas Nelson & Sons. In 1928, the International Council of Religious Education (the body that later merged with the Federal Council of Churches to form the National Council of Churches) acquired the copyright from Nelson and renewed it the following year.

The divine name of the Almighty (the Tetragrammaton) is consistently rendered Jehovah in the ASV Old Testament, rather than LORD as it appears in the King James Bible.

The ASV was the basis of four revisions. They were the Revised Standard Version, 1971, the Amplified Bible, 1965, the New American Standard Bible, 1995, and the Recovery Version, 1999. A fifth revision, known as the World English Bible, was published in 2000 and was placed in the public domain. The ASV was also the basis for Kenneth N. Taylor's Bible paraphrase, The Living Bible, 1971.

This Bible is in the public domain in the United States. We are making it available in the same format in which we acquired it as a public service.
