He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.
The righteous eateth to the satisfying of his soul: but the belly of the wicked shall want.
Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands.
He that walketh in his uprightness feareth the LORD: but [he that is] perverse in his ways despiseth him.
In the mouth of the foolish [is] a rod of pride: but the lips of the wise shall preserve them.
