1 Celui qui aime la correction aime la science; Celui qui hait la réprimande est stupide.

2 L’homme de bien obtient la faveur de l’Éternel, Mais l’Éternel condamne celui qui est plein de malice.

3 L’homme ne s’affermit pas par la méchanceté, Mais la racine des justes ne sera point ébranlée.

4 Une femme vertueuse est la couronne de son mari, Mais celle qui fait honte est comme la carie dans ses os.

5 Les pensées des justes ne sont qu’équité; Les desseins des méchants ne sont que fraude.
