Proverbs 12
1 Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but the one who hates correction is stupid.
Koi hileh kigahna thet lou chun, hetna jong adeijin, min akhou khah ding deiloupa vang chu miching ahipoi.
2 Yahweh gives favor to a good man, but he condemns a man who makes evil plans.

16 A fool shows his anger at once, but one who ignores an insult is prudent.
