1:22 “How long will you simpletons love naiveté?
How long will mockers delight in mockery
and fools hate knowledge?
8:21 that I may cause those who love me to inherit wealth,
and that I may fill their treasuries.
8:36 But the one who does not find me brings harm to himself;
all who hate me love death.”
9:8 Do not reprove a mocker or he will hate you;
reprove a wise person and he will love you.
14:20 A poor person is disliked even by his neighbors,
but those who love the rich are many.
14:22 Do not those who devise evil go astray?
But those who plan good exhibit faithful covenant love.
15:17 Better a meal of vegetables where there is love
than a fattened ox where there is hatred.
18:21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue,
and those who love its use will eat its fruit.
19:22 What is desirable for a person is to show loyal love,
and a poor person is better than a liar.
20:13 Do not love sleep, lest you become impoverished;
open your eyes so that you might be satisfied with food.
