¹¹ My son, don’t despise Yahweh’s discipline,
    neither be weary of his correction;
¹² for whom Yahweh loves, he corrects,
    even as a father reproves the son in whom he delights.

⁴ Tell wisdom, “You are my sister.”
    Call understanding your relative,

¹⁷ I love those who love me.
    Those who seek me diligently will find me.

²¹ that I may give wealth to those who love me.
    I fill their treasuries.

⁸ Don’t reprove a scoffer, lest he hate you.
    Reprove a wise person, and he will love you.

¹² Hatred stirs up strife,
    but love covers all wrongs.

²⁴ One who spares the rod hates his son,
    but one who loves him is careful to discipline him.

²² Don’t they go astray who plot evil?
    But love and faithfulness belong to those who plan good.

⁹ The way of the wicked is an abomination to Yahweh,
    but he loves him who follows after righteousness.

¹⁷ Better is a dinner of herbs, where love is,
    than a fattened calf with hatred.
