1 If you love learning, you love the discipline that goes with it—how shortsighted to refuse correction!
2 A good person basks in the delight of God,and he wants nothing to do with devious schemers.
3 You can’t find firm footing in a swamp,but life rooted in God stands firm.
4 A hearty wife invigorates her husband,but a frigid woman is cancer in the bones.
5 The thinking of principled people makes for justice;the plots of degenerates corrupt.
6 The words of the wicked kill;the speech of the upright saves.
7 Wicked people fall to pieces—there’s nothing to them;the homes of good people hold together.
