1:23 If only you will respond to my rebuke,
then I will pour out my thoughts to you
and I will make my words known to you.
1:24 However, because I called but you refused to listen,
because I stretched out my hand but no one paid attention,
6:29 So it is with the one who has sex with his neighbor’s wife;
no one who touches her will escape punishment.
9:9 Give instruction to a wise person, and he will become wiser still;
teach a righteous person and he will add to his learning.
10:17 The one who heeds instruction is on the way to life,
but the one who rejects rebuke goes astray.
26:6 Like cutting off the feet or drinking violence,
so is sending a message by the hand of a fool.
26:17 Like one who grabs a wild dog by the ears,
so is the person passing by who becomes furious over a quarrel not his own.
28:19 The one who works his land will be satisfied with food,
but whoever chases daydreams will have his fill of poverty.
28:24 The one who robs his father and mother and says, “There is no transgression,”
is a companion to the one who destroys.
29:24 Whoever shares with a thief is his own enemy;
he hears the oath to testify, but does not talk.
30:33 For as the churning of milk produces butter
and as punching the nose produces blood,
so stirring up anger produces strife.
