12Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge,
2The good obtain favor from the Lord,
3No one finds security by wickedness,
4A good wife is the crown of her husband,
5The thoughts of the righteous are just;
6The words of the wicked are a deadly ambush,
7The wicked are overthrown and are no more,
8One is commended for good sense,
9Better to be despised and have a servant,
10The righteous know the needs of their animals,
11Those who till their land will have plenty of food,
12The wicked covet the proceeds of wickedness,
13The evil are ensnared by the transgression of their lips,
14From the fruit of the mouth one is filled with good things,
15Fools think their own way is right,
16Fools show their anger at once,
17Whoever speaks the truth gives honest evidence,
18Rash words are like sword thrusts,
19Truthful lips endure forever,
20Deceit is in the mind of those who plan evil,
21No harm happens to the righteous,
22Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord,
23One who is clever conceals knowledge,
24The hand of the diligent will rule,
25Anxiety weighs down the human heart,
26The righteous gives good advice to friends,
27The lazy do not roast
28In the path of righteousness there is life,
