But to the wicked I say:
“You don't have the right
to mention my laws or claim
to keep our agreement!
You refused correction
and rejected my commands.
|
|
|
|
Our Lord, you bless everyone
that you instruct and teach
by using your Law.
|
|
|
|
Respect and obey the Lord!
This is the beginning
of knowledge.
Only a fool rejects wisdom
and good advice.
|
|
|
|
They get lost and die
because of their foolishness
and lack of self-control.
|
|
|
|
Accept correction,
and you will find life;
reject correction,
and you will miss the road.
|
|
|
|
A beautiful woman
who acts foolishly
is like a gold ring
on the snout of a pig.
|
|
|
|
To accept correction is wise,
to reject it is stupid.
|
|
|
|
A good reputation and respect
are worth much more
than silver and gold.
|
|
|
|
The words of a bad woman
are like a deep pit;
if you make the Lord angry,
you will fall right in.
|
|
|
|
Invest in truth and wisdom,
discipline and good sense,
and don't part with them.
