Proverbs 12:1

Correction is grievous unto him that forsaketh the way: and he that hateth reproof shall die.

Through desire a man, having separated himself, seeketh and intermeddleth with all wisdom.

Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding: whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, lest they come near unto thee.

I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me.

A brutish man knoweth not; neither doth a fool understand this.

And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master’s crib: but Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider.

Now therefore hearken unto me, O ye children: for blessed are they that keep my ways.

Make me to understand the way of thy precepts: so shall I talk of thy wondrous works.
