Summary: We obtain new sharp bounds for the Bernoulli numbers: \[ 2(2n)!/({\pi}^{2n}(2^{2n} - 1)) < |B_{2n}| \leq (2(2^{2k} - 1)/2^{2k})\zeta(2k)(2n)!/({\pi}^{2n}(2^{2n} - 1)), \] \(n = k, k + 1, \dots, k \in \mathbb N^+\), and establish a sharpening of Papenfuss's inequalities, refinements of Becker-Stark, and Stechkin's inequalities. Finally, we show a new simple proof of the Ruehr-Shafer inequality.
