The Verses (NASB) “Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge,But whoever hates rebuke is stupid.A good person will obtain favor from the Lord,But He will condemn a person who devises evil.A person will not be established by wickedness,But the root of the righteous will not be moved.” “An excellent wife is the crown of her husband,But she who shames him is like rottenness in his bones.The thoughts of the righteous are just,But…

“A false balance is an abomination to the Lord,But a just weight is His delight.When pride comes, then comes dishonor;But with the humble there is wisdom.The integrity of the upright will guide them,But the perversity of the treacherous will destroy them.” “Riches do not benefit on the day of wrath,But righteousness rescues from death.The righteousness of the blameless will smooth his way,But the wicked will fall by his own wickedness.The…

“My son, keep my wordsAnd treasure my commandments within you.Keep my commandments and live,And my teaching as the apple of your eye.Bind them on your fingers;Write them on the tablet of your heart.Say to wisdom, ‘You are my sister,’And call understanding your intimate friend;That they may keep you from an adulteress,From the foreign woman who flatters with her words.” “For at the window of my houseI looked out through my…
