Proverbs 12:1-6

¹Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but the one who hates correction is stupid.

²Yahweh gives favor to a good man, but he condemns a man who makes evil plans.

³A person cannot be established by wickedness, but righteous people cannot be uprooted.

⁴A worthy wife is her husband's crown, but she who brings shame is like a disease that rots his bones.

⁵The plans of the righteous are just, but the advice of the wicked is deceitful.

⁶The words of wicked people are an ambush waiting for a chance to kill, but the words of the upright keep them safe.
