They will be a graceful wreath for your head and a chain for your neck.

"You naive ones, how long will you love naivety And how long will scoffers delight in scoffing or fools hate knowledge?"

She will place on your head a graceful garland; she will present to you a crown of beauty."

Can a man walk on hot coals without scorching his feet?

The fear of the LORD is to hate evil. Pride, arrogance, an evil lifestyle, and perverted speech I despise.

Even though he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the world's first grains of dust,

Don't rebuke a mocker or he will hate you. Rebuke a wise person, and he will love you.

Blessings come upon the head of the righteous, but the words of the wicked conceal violence.

The rich hide within the fortress that is their wealth, but the poor are dismayed due to their poverty.

Don't make friends with a hot-tempered man, and do not associate with someone who is easily angered,

Seldom set foot in your neighbor's home; otherwise, he'll grow weary and hate you.

For you'll be piling burning coals of shame on his head and the LORD will reward you.

Charcoal is to hot coals as wood is to fire; so also a quarrelsome man fuels strife.

When the righteous are victorious, there is great glory, but when the wicked arise, men hide themselves.

When the wicked rise to power, people hide themselves, but when the wicked perish, the righteous increase.

Bloodthirsty men hate the innocent person, but the upright show concern for his life.

An angry man stirs up arguments, and a hot-tempered man causes many transgressions.
