1. Whosoever loves instruction loves knowledge: but he that hates reproof is senseless.
2. A good man obtains favor of the LORD: but a man of wicked intentions will he condemn.
3. A man shall not be established by wickedness: but the root of the righteous shall not be moved.
4. A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband: but she that makes ashamed is like rottenness in his bones.
5. The thoughts of the righteous are right: but the counsels of the wicked are deceitful.
6. The words of the wicked are to lie in wait for blood: but the mouth of the upright shall deliver them.
