Proverbs 12:2

Justice

1 Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but he who hates correction is stupid.

The good man obtains favor from the LORD, but the LORD condemns a man who devises evil.

3 A man cannot be established through wickedness, but the righteous cannot be uprooted.

4 A wife of noble character is her husband’s crown, but she who causes shame is like decay in his bones.
