Proverbs 12
1 He that loves instruction loves sense, but he that hates reproofs is a fool.
अनुशासनलाई प्रेम गर्नेले ज्ञानलाई प्रेम गर्दछ, तर सुधारलाई घृणा गर्नेचाहिँ अबुझ हो ।
2 He that has found favor with the Lord [is made] better; but a transgressor shall be passed over in silence.

मानिसलाई त्यसको बुद्धिअनुसार प्रशंसा गरिन्छ, तर टेडो रोजाइ गर्नेचाहिँ तुच्छ ठानिन्छ ।
9 Better is a man in dishonor serving himself, than one honouring himself and lacking bread.
