“ Who then is a faithful and sensible slave, whom his master has put in charge of his household, to give them food at the proper time?That slave whose master finds him working when he comes will be rewarded.I assure you: He will put him in charge of all his possessions.But if that wicked slave says in his heart,‘ My master is delayed,’and starts to beat his fellow slaves, and eats and drinks with drunkards,that slave’s master will come on a day he does not expect and at an hour he does not know.He will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the hypocrites. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

The one who loves a pure heart and gracious lips— the king is his friend.

A king’s rage is like the roaring of a lion, but his favor is like dew on the grass.A foolish son is his father’s ruin, and a wife’s nagging is an endless dripping.

The Lord said:“ Who then is the faithful and sensible manager his master will put in charge of his household servants to give them their allotted food at the proper time?That slave whose master finds him working when he comes will be rewarded.I tell you the truth: He will put him in charge of all his possessions.But if that slave says in his heart,‘ My master is delaying his coming,’ and starts to beat the male and female slaves, and to eat and drink and get drunk,that slave’s master will come on a day he does not expect him and at an hour he does not know. He will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the unbelievers.And that slave who knew his master’s will and didn’t prepare himself or do it will be severely beaten.But the one who did not know and did things deserving of blows will be beaten lightly. Much will be required of everyone who has been given much. And even more will be expected of the one who has been entrusted with more.

If a ruler listens to lies, all his officials will be wicked.

Remove the wicked from the king’s presence, and his throne will be established in righteousness.

“ His master said to him,‘ Well done, good and faithful slave! You were faithful over a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Share your master’s joy!’

The son who gathers during summer is prudent; the son who sleeps during harvest is disgraceful.

A wise servant will rule over a disgraceful son and share an inheritance among brothers.

The one who assaults his father and evicts his mother is a disgraceful and shameful son.

A wise king separates out the wicked and drives the threshing wheel over them.

“ His master said to him,‘ Well done, good and faithful slave! You were faithful over a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Share your master’s joy!’

A devious heart will be far from me; I will not be involved with evil.I will destroy anyone who secretly slanders his neighbor; I cannot tolerate anyone with haughty eyes or an arrogant heart.My eyes favor the faithful of the land so that they may sit down with me. The one who follows the way of integrity may serve me.No one who acts deceitfully will live in my palace; no one who tells lies will remain in my presence.Every morning I will destroy all the wicked of the land, eliminating all evildoers from the Lord’s city.

A king sitting on a throne to judge sifts out all evil with his eyes.
