Proverbs

¹Whoso loveth correction loveth knowledge: but he that hateth reproof is brutish. ²A good man shall obtain favour of the LORD: but a man of wicked devices will he condemn. ³A man shall not be established by wickedness: but the root of the righteous shall never be moved. ⁴A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband: but she that maketh ashamed is as rottenness in his bones. ⁵The thoughts of the righteous are just: but the counsels of the wicked are deceit. ⁶The words of the wicked are of lying in wait for blood: but the mouth of the upright shall deliver them.
