1 Whoever loves discipline loves to learn,but whoever hates correction is a dumb animal.
2 A good person obtains favor from the Lord,but the Lord condemns everyone who schemes.
3 A person cannot stand firm on a foundation of wickedness,and the roots of righteous people cannot be moved.
4 A wife with strength of character is the crown of her husband,but the wife who disgraces him is like bone cancer.
5 The thoughts of righteous people are fair.The advice of wicked people is treacherous.
6 The words of wicked people are a deadly ambush,but the words of decent people rescue.
7 Overthrow wicked people, and they are no more,but the families of righteous people continue to stand.
