1 Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge. But whoever hates correction is unwise.
2 Whoever is good shall draw grace from the Lord. But whoever trusts in his own thoughts acts impiously.
3 Man will not be made strong from impiety. And the root of the just shall not be moved.
4 A diligent woman is a crown to her husband. And she who acts with confusion as to which things are worthy is decay to his bones.
5 The thoughts of the just are judgments. And the counsels of the impious are dishonest.
