1Whoso loveth instruction loveth knowledge: But he that hateth reproof is brutish.
2A good man obtaineth favour of the Lord: But a man of wicked devices will he condemn.
3A man shall not be established by wickedness: But the root of the righteous shall not be moved.
4A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband: But she that maketh ashamed is as rottenness in his bones.
5The thoughts of the righteous are right: But the counsels of the wicked are deceit.
6The words of the wicked are to lie in wait for blood: But the mouth of the upright shall deliver them.
7The wicked are overthrown, and are not: But the house of the righteous shall stand.
