Притчи Соломона 12
1 Любяй наказание любит чувство: ненавидяй же обличения безумен.
Those who want to know [what is right to do] want to be (disciplined/corrected) when they do what is wrong; it is foolish to not want to be (corrected/told that what you did is wrong).
2 Лучше обретый благодать от Господа Бога: муж же законопреступен премолчан будет.
Yahweh is pleased with good people, but he condemns those who plan to harm [others].
3 Не исправится человек от беззаконнаго: корения же праведных не отимутся.

4 Жена мужественная венец мужу своему: якоже в древе червь, тако мужа погубляет жена злотворная.
A good wife is one who causes her husband to be greatly honored, but a wife who does things that cause her husband to be ashamed [will destroy him] like [SIM] cancer [destroys] his bones.
5 Мысли праведных судьбы: управляют же нечестивии лести.

9 Лучше муж в безчестии работаяй себе, нежели честь себе обложив и лишаяйся хлеба.

18 Суть, иже глаголюще уязвляют аки мечи: языцы же премудрых изцеляют.
What some people say [hurts people badly], as much as [SIM] a sword can; but what wise [people] say (heals [others’ souls]/comforts others).
