Proverbs
Chapters 12:1-4
Amplified Bible
1WHOEVER LOVES instruction and correction loves knowledge, but he who hates reproof is like a brute beast, stupid and indiscriminating.
2A good man obtains favor from the Lord, but a man of wicked devices He condemns.
3A man shall not be established by wickedness, but the root of the [uncompromisingly] righteous shall never be moved.
4A virtuous and worthy wife [earnest and strong in character] is a crowning joy to her husband, but she who makes him ashamed is as rottenness in his bones. [Prov. 31:23; I Cor. 11:7.]
