But whoever obeys the law is joyful.H2377H5971H6544H8104H8451H83519Words alone will not discipline a servant; the words may be understood, but they are not heeded.H5650H3256H1697H995H461720There is more hope for a fool than for someone who speaks without thinking.H2372H376H213H1697H8615H368421A servant pampered from childhood will become a rebel.H6445H5650H5290H4497H31922An angry person starts fights; a hot-tempered person commits all kinds of sin.H639H376H1624H4066H2534H1167H7227H658823Pride ends in humiliation, while humility brings honor.H120H1346H8213H3519H8551H8217H730724If you assist a thief, you only hurt yourself. You are sworn to tell the truth, but you dare not testify.H2505H1590H8130H5315H8085H423H504625Fearing people is a dangerous trap, but trusting the Lord means safety.H2731H120H5414H4170H982H3068H768226Many seek the ruler’s favor, but justice comes from the Lord.H7227H1245H4910H6440H376H4941H306827The righteous despise the unjust; the wicked despise the godly.H5766H376H8441H6662H3477H1870H8441H7563
