    and the fool will be servant to the wise of heart.
³⁰ The fruit of the righteous is ^(C)a tree of life,
    and whoever ^(D)captures souls is wise.

    how much more the wicked and the sinner!
12 Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge,
    but he who ^(F)hates reproof is ^(G)stupid.
² A good man ^(H)obtains favor from the Lord,
    but a man of evil devices he condemns.
³ No one is established by wickedness,
    but the root of ^(I)the righteous will never be moved.
^4 (J)An excellent wife is ^(K)the crown of her husband,
    but she who ^(L)brings shame is like ^(M)rottenness in his bones.
^5 (N)The thoughts of the righteous are just;
    the counsels of the wicked are deceitful.
⁶ The words of the wicked ^(O)lie in wait for blood,
    but ^(P)the mouth of the upright delivers them.
^7 (Q)The wicked are ^(R)overthrown and are no more,
    ^(S)but the house of the righteous will stand.
