This chapter has further random words of wisdom from Solomon: He who hates correction is stupid!… the Lord condemns a crafty man… a wife of noble character is her husband’s crown, but a disgraceful wife is like decay in his bones… men with warped minds are despised… better to be a nobody and yet have a servant than pretend to be somebody and have no food… a righteous man cares for the needs of his animal… the way of a fool seems right to him, but a wise man listens to advice… reckless words pierce like a sword… the Lord detests lying lips… an anxious heart weighs a man down, but a kind word cheers him up.
