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