Proverbs 12:3

Justice

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

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

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.

5 The plans of the righteous are just, but the counsel of the wicked leads to deceit.
