Proverbs

Whoever loves instruction loves knowledge; but he who hates correction [is] like a brute [animal].

The good gets grace from the LORD, but He will condemn a man of wicked thoughts.

A man shall not be established by wickedness, but the root of the righteous shall not be moved.

A woman of virtue [is] a crown to her husband, but she who causes shame [is] like rottenness in his bones.

The thoughts of the righteous [are] right; the counsels of the wicked [are] deceit.

The words of the wicked [are] to lie in wait for blood; but the mouth of the upright shall deliver them.

The wicked are overthrown, and [are] gone; but the house of the righteous shall stand.

A man shall be praised according to his wisdom, but he who is of a perverse heart shall be despised.
