* Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge . He that hates reproof is stupid . * A good man obtains favor from Jehovah . He will condemn a man of wicked intentions . * A man will not stand firm on sin . The root of the righteous will not be moved . * A virtuous wife is a crown to her husband . She who acts shameful is rottenness in his bones . * The thoughts of the righteous are just . The counsels of the wicked are deceitful . * The words of the wicked lie in wait for blood , but the mouth of the upright delivers them . * The wicked are overthrown and are no more . The house of the righteous will stand . * A man is commended according to his wisdom . He with a perverse heart will be despised . * He with a servant who is lightly esteemed is better off than he who has no food and yet is honored . * A righteous man has regard for the life of his animal , but the compassion of the wicked is terrible . * He who tills his land will have plenty of bread . He who follows worthless people lacks sense . * The wicked desires the booty of evil men , but the root of the righteous yields fruit . * The wicked is snared by the transgression of his lips . The righteous will depart from trouble . * A man will be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth . The deeds of a man 's hands will return to him . * The way of a fool is right in his own eyes . He who listens to counsel is wise . * A fool 's anger is instantly known . A prudent man conceals shame . * He who speaks truth shows righteousness , but a false witness deceit . * There is one who speaks rashly like the piercing of a sword . The tongue of the wise brings a cure . * The lip of truth will be established forever . A lying tongue is only for a moment . * Deceit is in the heart of those who contrive evil , but the counselors of peace have joy . * No evil will happen to the righteous . The wicked will be filled with trouble . * Lying lips are an abomination to Jehovah . Those who deal truly are his delight . * A prudent man conceals knowledge . The heart of fools proclaims foolishness . * The hand of the diligent will bear rule . The lazy will be under forced labor . * Anxiety in the heart of man make it heavy , but a good word makes it glad . * The righteous is a guide to his neighbor . The way of the wicked leads others astray . * The lazy man does not cook what he took in hunting . The substance of a diligent man is precious . * The way of righteousness is life . In its pathway there is no death .
