1 Whoever loves instruction loves knowledge; but he who hates correction is like a brute animal.
3 A man shall not be established by wickedness, but the root of the righteous shall not be moved.
4 A woman of virtue is a crown to her husband, but she who causes shame is like rottenness in his bones.
6 The words of the wicked are to lie in wait for blood; but the mouth of the upright shall deliver them.
8 A man shall be praised according to his wisdom, but he who is of a perverse heart shall be despised.
10 A righteous one understands the soul of his animal; but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.
11 He who tills his land shall be satisfied with bread; but he who follows vanities lacks heart.
13 The wicked is snared by the transgression of his lips, but the just shall come out of trouble.
14 A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth, and the reward of a man's hands shall be given to him.
