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

2 A good man obtaineth favour of the LORD: but a man of wicked devices will he condemn.

5 The thoughts of the righteous are right: but the counsels of the wicked are deceit.

6 The words of the wicked are to lie in wait for blood: but the mouth of the upright shall deliver them.

Prov 1:11,18 
11 If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause:
18 And they lay wait for their own blood; they lurk privily for their own lives.

15 The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that hearkeneth unto counsel is wise.

27 The slothful man roasteth not that which he took in hunting: but the substance of a diligent man is precious.

28 In the way of righteousness is life; and in the pathway thereof there is no death.
