“How long, you simple ones, will you love simplicity? For scorners delight in their scorning, And fools hate knowledge.
-
For whom the Lord loves He corrects, Just as a father the son in whom he delights.
-
Do not forsake her, and she will preserve you; Love her, and she will keep you.
-
As a loving deer and a graceful doe, Let her breasts satisfy you at all times; And always be enraptured with her love.
-
Come, let us take our fill of love until morning; Let us delight ourselves with love.
-
I love those who love me, And those who seek me diligently will find me.
-
That I may cause those who love me to inherit wealth, That I may fill their treasuries.
-
But he who sins against me wrongs his own soul; All those who hate me love death.”
-
Do not correct a scoffer, lest he hate you; Rebuke a wise man, and he will love you.
-
Hatred stirs up strife, But love covers all sins.
-
As a ring of gold in a swine’s snout, So is a lovely woman who lacks discretion.
-
The House of the Righteous Shall Stand
Whoever loves instruction loves knowledge, But he who hates correction is stupid.
-
Wisdom Loves Righteousness
A wise son heeds his father’s instruction, But a scoffer does not listen to rebuke.
-
He who spares his rod hates his son, But he who loves him disciplines him promptly.
-
The way of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord, But He loves him who follows righteousness.
-
A scoffer does not love one who corrects him, Nor will he go to the wise.
-
Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, Than a fatted calf with hatred.
-
Righteous lips are the delight of kings, And they love him who speaks what is right.
-
He who covers a transgression seeks love, But he who repeats a matter separates friends.
-
A friend loves at all times, And a brother is born for adversity.
-
He who loves transgression loves strife, And he who exalts his gate seeks destruction.
-
Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit.
-
He who gets wisdom loves his own soul; He who keeps understanding will find good.
-
Do not love sleep, lest you come to poverty; Open your eyes, and you will be satisfied with bread.
-
He who loves pleasure will be a poor man; He who loves wine and oil will not be rich.
