1. Whosoever loves chastening loves knowledge, but he that hates reproof is carnal.
2. The good man shall attain the favour of the Lord, but the man of wicked thoughts he will condemn.
3. Man shall not be established by wickedness, but the root of the righteous shall not be moved.
4. The virtuous woman is a crown to her husband, but she that makes ashamed is as rottenness in his bones.
5. The thoughts of the righteous are upright, but the astuteness of the wicked is deceit.
6. The words of the wicked are to lie in wait for blood, but the mouth of the upright shall deliver them.
