How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?

For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the Lord:

And say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof;

These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:

The fear of the Lord is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.

But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: all they that hate me love death.

Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee.

He that is surety for a stranger shall smart for it: and he that hateth suretiship is sure.

Whoso loveth instruction loveth knowledge: but he that hateth reproof is brutish.

A righteous man hateth lying: but a wicked man is loathsome, and cometh to shame.

He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.

He that is soon angry dealeth foolishly: and a man of wicked devices is hated.

The poor is hated even of his own neighbour: but the rich hath many friends.

Correction is grievous unto him that forsaketh the way: and he that hateth reproof shall die.

He that is greedy of gain troubleth his own house; but he that hateth gifts shall live.

All the brethren of the poor do hate him: how much more do his friends go far from him? he pursueth them with words, yet they are wanting to him.

Withdraw thy foot from thy neighbour's house; lest he be weary of thee, and so hate thee.

He that hateth dissembleth with his lips, and layeth up deceit within him;

A lying tongue hateth those that are afflicted by it; and a flattering mouth worketh ruin.

The prince that wanteth understanding is also a great oppressor: but he that hateth covetousness shall prolong his days.

The bloodthirsty hate the upright: but the just seek his soul.

Whoso is partner with a thief hateth his own soul: he heareth cursing, and bewrayeth it not.
