Proverbs of Solomon
2 Ill-gotten treasures have no lasting value,
but righteousness delivers from death.
9 Whoever walks in integrity walks securely,
but whoever takes crooked paths will be found out.
12 Hatred stirs up conflict,
but love covers over all wrongs.
13 Wisdom is found on the lips of the discerning,
but a rod is for the back of one who has no sense.
16 The wages of the righteous is life,
but the earnings of the wicked are sin and death.
17 Whoever heeds discipline shows the way to life,
but whoever ignores correction leads others astray.
27 The fear of the LORD adds length to life,
but the years of the wicked are cut short.
