- Whoever loves correction loves knowledge,
but he who hates reproof is stupid. - A fool shows his annoyance the same day,
but one who overlooks an insult is prudent. - Deceit is in the heart of those who plot evil,
but joy comes to the promoters of peace. - Lying lips are an abomination to Yahweh,
but those who do the truth are his delight. - The hands of the diligent ones shall rule,
but laziness ends in slave labor. - Anxiety in a man’s heart weighs it down,
but a kind word makes it glad.
Finally, brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are honorable, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report: if there is any virtue and if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.
