1 He who loves discipline loves knowledge, but he who hates rebuke is stupid.
2 The good obtains favor from Yahweh, but anyone who schemes, he condemns.
3 A person will not be established by wickedness, but the root of the righteous will not be moved.
4 A woman of strength is the crown of her master, but like rot in his bones is she who brings shame.
5 The thoughts of the righteous are just; the advice of the wicked is treacherous.
6 The words of the wicked are an ambush of blood, but the mouth of the upright delivers them.
7 The wicked are overthrown and are no more, but the house of the righteous shall stand.
