Loving Discipline and Knowledge
Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, Pro 15:10Pro 9:7-8Psa 119:97-100Pro 18:1Pro 5:12-13Pro 8:17Psa 32:9Psa 92:6
but he who hates correction is stupid.
The good man obtains favor from the LORD, Pro 8:35Act 11:24Psa 112:5Rom 5:7Isa 32:5-7Pro 1:31Ecc 8:8Pro 6:18
but the LORD condemns a man who devises evil.
A man cannot be established through wickedness, Pro 10:25Eph 3:17Col 2:7Pro 12:12Job 27:16-18Psa 125:1-2Job 5:3-5Psa 15:5
but the righteous cannot be uprooted.
A wife of noble character is her husband’s crown, Pro 31:10-25Pro 14:1Pro 14:30Pro 19:13-141Co 11:11Pro 21:19Pro 21:9Pro 27:15-16
but she who causes shame is like decay in his bones.
The plans of the righteous are just, Psa 139:23Isa 55:7Jer 4:14Psa 140:1-3Psa 41:6-71Co 4:52Co 4:2Mat 2:16
but the counsel of the wicked leads to deceit.
The words of the wicked lie in wait for blood, Pro 14:3Jer 5:26Isa 59:7Pro 1:11-192Sa 17:1-4Act 23:12Act 23:15Est 4:7-14
but the speech of the upright rescues them.
The wicked are overthrown and perish, Mat 7:24-27Pro 10:25Pro 11:212Sa 7:162Sa 7:26Est 9:14Est 9:6-10Job 11:20
but the house of the righteous will stand.
A man is praised according to his wisdom, 2Co 10:18Pro 3:351Co 3:10-151Co 4:5Mal 2:8-9Mat 27:4-5Act 12:23Dan 12:2
but a twisted mind is despised.
Better to be lightly esteemed yet have a servant, Luk 14:11Pro 13:7
than to be self-important but lack food.
A righteous man regards the life of his animal, Deu 25:4Gen 33:13-14Num 22:28-32Jas 2:13-161Jn 3:171Sa 11:2Gen 37:26-28Jdg 1:7
but the tender mercies of the wicked are only cruelty.
The one who works his land will have plenty of food, Pro 28:19Pro 14:231Th 4:11-12Psa 128:2Eph 4:282Th 3:8Pro 9:6Pro 14:4
but whoever chases fantasies lacks judgment.
The wicked desire the plunder of evil men, Jer 17:7-8Jhn 15:5Luk 8:13-15Pro 29:5-6Psa 1:3Isa 27:6Isa 37:31Jhn 15:16
but the root of the righteous flourishes.
An evil man is trapped by his rebellious speech, Pro 21:23Pro 11:8Psa 64:8Dan 6:24Pro 6:22Pe 2:9Ecc 7:18Pro 18:6-7
but a righteous man escapes from trouble.
By fruitful speech a man is filled with good things, Pro 18:20-21Isa 3:10-11Pro 13:2Psa 63:5Mat 10:41-42Pro 15:232Th 1:6-7Mat 16:27
and the work of his hands returns to him.
The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, Pro 3:7Pro 14:16Pro 19:20Pro 26:12Pro 14:12Pro 16:2Pro 16:25Gal 6:3
but a wise man listens to counsel.
A fool’s anger is known at once, Pro 29:11Jas 1:19Pro 10:12Pro 17:9Pro 25:28Pro 14:33Pro 16:221Ki 19:1-2
but a prudent man overlooks an insult.
He who speaks the truth declares what is right, Pro 14:25Pro 14:5Pro 24:28Pro 6:19Mat 15:19Pro 19:28Pro 19:5Pro 21:28
but a false witness speaks deceit.
Speaking rashly is like a piercing sword, Pro 16:24Pro 15:4Pro 10:20-21Psa 57:4Jas 3:6-8Psa 52:2Pro 15:7Pro 25:18
but the tongue of the wise brings healing.
Truthful lips endure forever, Pro 19:9Psa 52:4-5Job 20:5Zec 1:4-6Act 5:3-10Mat 24:35
but a lying tongue lasts only a moment.
Deceit is in the hearts of those who devise evil, Mat 5:91Pe 3:8-13Mrk 7:21-22Heb 12:14Jer 17:16Pro 12:12Pro 26:24-26Zec 6:13
but the counselors of peace have joy.
No harm befalls the righteous, 1Pe 3:13Psa 91:10Rom 8:28Jer 13:12-14Pro 1:311Co 3:22-23Hab 2:16Pro 14:14
but the wicked are filled with trouble.
Lying lips are detestable to the LORD, Psa 5:6Pro 11:20Pro 6:16-17Rev 22:15Jer 9:24Isa 9:15Pro 11:1Ezk 13:22
but those who deal faithfully are His delight.
A shrewd man keeps his knowledge to himself, Pro 13:16Pro 10:19Pro 11:13Pro 10:14Pro 15:2Ecc 10:12-14Ecc 10:3
but a foolish heart proclaims its folly.
The hand of the diligent will rule, Pro 12:27Pro 10:4Pro 21:25-26Pro 13:4Pro 19:15Pro 22:291Ki 11:28Gen 49:15
but laziness ends in forced labor.
Anxiety weighs down the heart of a man, Pro 16:24Pro 15:13Pro 17:22Isa 50:4Pro 15:23Pro 12:18Pro 27:9Psa 42:11
but a good word cheers it up.
A righteous man is cautious in friendship, 1Jn 2:26Jas 1:13-14Mat 5:46-48Pro 17:27Psa 18:12-132Pe 2:18-22Luk 6:32-36Pro 12:13
but the ways of the wicked lead them astray.
A lazy man does not roast his game, Pro 13:4Pro 26:15Psa 37:16Pro 15:16Pro 16:8Pro 23:2
but a diligent man prizes his possession.
There is life in the path of righteousness, 3Jn 1:11Rom 5:21Ezk 18:20-24Pro 11:19Tit 2:11-121Jn 2:291Jn 3:7Deu 30:15
but another path leads to death.
