1 Whoever loves instruction loves knowledge,but he who hates reproof is brutish.
2 A good man obtains favor of the Lord,but a man of wicked devices will He condemn.
3 A man will not be established by wickedness,but the root of the righteous will not be moved.
4 A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband,but she who brings shame is as rottenness in his bones.
5 The thoughts of the righteous are right,but the counsels of the wicked are deceit.
