Teaching and telling-off
Whoever loves instruction loves knowledge, but whoever hates correction is foolish. A good man obtains favour from the LORD, but he condemns a man of wicked schemes. A man won't be established by wickedness, but the root of the righteous will not be moved. A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband, but one who brings shame is like rottenness in his bones. The thoughts of the righteous are right, but the counsels of the wicked are deceit. The words of the wicked lie in wait for blood, but the mouth of the upright delivers them. The wicked are overthrown and gone, but the house of the righteous will stand. A man is praised according to his wisdom, but the perverse in heart will be despised. Better to be lightly esteemed and have a servant than to honour yourself and have no bread. A righteous man cares for the life of his animal, but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel. Whoever works his land will have plenty of bread, but whoever chases vain things lacks understanding. The wicked desire the net of evil men, but the root of the righteous produces fruit. The wicked are snared by the wrongdoing of their lips, but the righteous come out of trouble. A man is satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth, and the work of his hands comes back to him.
Whoever loves teaching loves knowledge, but the one who hates telling-off is stupid. A good man gets favour from the Lord, but a man of wicked plans he'll condemn. A man won't be set up by wickedness, but the root of the righteous won't be shifted. A good woman is a crown to her husband, but the one who brings shame is like rot in his bones. The thoughts of the righteous are right, but the counsels of the wicked are a trick. The words of the wicked are to lie in wait for blood, but the mouth of the upright will rescue them. The wicked are overturned and gone, but the house of the righteous will stand. A man will be praised according to his wisdom, but the one with a twisted heart will be looked down on. The one who's looked down on but has a servant is better than the one who honours himself and has no bread. A righteous man cares for the life of his animal, but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel. The one who works his land will be filled with bread, but the one who chases empty things has no sense. The wicked wants the net of evil men, but the root of the righteous gives fruit. The wicked is caught by the sin of his lips, but the righteous will come out of trouble. A man will be filled with good by the fruit of his mouth, and what a man's hands do will come back to him.
Whoso loveth instruction loveth knowledge: but he that hateth reproof is brutish. A good man obtaineth favour of the LORD: but a man of wicked devices will he condemn. A man shall not be established by wickedness: but the root of the righteous shall not be moved. A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband: but she that maketh ashamed is as rottenness in his bones. The thoughts of the righteous are right: but the counsels of the wicked are deceit. The words of the wicked are to lie in wait for blood: but the mouth of the upright shall deliver them. The wicked are overthrown, and are not: but the house of the righteous shall stand. A man shall be commended according to his wisdom: but he that is of a perverse heart shall be despised. He that is despised, and hath a servant, is better than he that honoureth himself, and lacketh bread. A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast: but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel. He that tilleth his land shall be satisfied with bread: but he that followeth vain persons is void of understanding. The wicked desireth the net of evil men: but the root of the righteous yieldeth fruit. The wicked is snared by the transgression of his lips: but the just shall come out of trouble. A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth: and the recompence of a man’s hands shall be rendered unto him.

The tongue of the wise
A fool's way is right in his own eyes, but whoever listens to counsel is wise. A fool's anger is known straight away, but a sensible man overlooks shame. Whoever speaks truth shows righteousness, but a false witness speaks deceit. Some people speak like the thrusts of a sword, but the tongue of the wise brings healing. Truthful lips are established forever, but a lying tongue lasts only a moment. Deceit is in the heart of those who devise evil, but counsellors of peace have joy. No evil will happen to the righteous, but the wicked will be filled with mischief. Lying lips are disgusting to the LORD, but those who deal truly are his delight. A sensible man keeps knowledge to himself, but the heart of fools proclaims folly. The hand of the diligent will rule, but the lazy will be put under tribute. Heaviness in a man's heart weighs it down, but a good word makes it glad. The righteous is more excellent than his neighbour, but the way of the wicked leads them astray. A lazy man doesn't roast what he took in hunting, but the substance of a diligent man is precious. In the way of righteousness is life, and in that path there is no death.
The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but the one who listens to counsel is wise. A fool's anger is known straight away, but a careful man covers shame. The one who speaks truth shows what's right, but a false witness shows a trick. There's the one who speaks like the stabs of a sword, but the tongue of the wise is healing. The lip of truth will be set up forever, but a lying tongue is only for a moment. A trick is in the heart of the ones who think up evil, but the ones who counsel peace have joy. No trouble will come to the righteous, but the wicked will be filled with harm. Lying lips are disgusting to the Lord, but the ones who deal truly are his delight. A careful man hides knowledge, but the heart of fools calls out folly. The hand of the hard worker will rule, but the lazy one will be under forced labour. Worry in a man's heart makes it heavy, but a good word makes it glad. The righteous is more excellent than his neighbour, but the way of the wicked leads them astray. The lazy man doesn't roast what he took in hunting, but what a hard worker has is precious. In the way of righteousness is life, and in that path there's no death.
The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that hearkeneth unto counsel is wise. A fool’s wrath is presently known: but a prudent man covereth shame. He that speaketh truth sheweth forth righteousness: but a false witness deceit. There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword: but the tongue of the wise is health. The lip of truth shall be established for ever: but a lying tongue is but for a moment. Deceit is in the heart of them that imagine evil: but to the counsellors of peace is joy. There shall no evil happen to the just: but the wicked shall be filled with mischief. Lying lips are abomination to the LORD: but they that deal truly are his delight. A prudent man concealeth knowledge: but the heart of fools proclaimeth foolishness. The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: but the slothful shall be under tribute. Heaviness in the heart of man maketh it stoop: but a good word maketh it glad. The righteous is more excellent than his neighbour: but the way of the wicked seduceth them. The slothful man roasteth not that which he took in hunting: but the substance of a diligent man is precious. In the way of righteousness is life: and in the pathway thereof there is no death.
