“How long, O naive ones, will you love being simple-minded?
And scoffers delight themselves in scoffing
And fools hate knowledge?

“The fear of the Lord is to hate evil;
Pride and arrogance and the evil way
And the perverted mouth, I hate.

“But he who sins against me injures himself;
All those who hate me love death.”

Do not reprove a scoffer, or he will hate you,
Reprove a wise man and he will love you.

All the brothers of a poor man hate him;
How much more do his friends abandon him!
He pursues them with words, but they are gone.

Let your foot rarely be in your neighbor’s house,
Or he will become weary of you and hate you.

Men of bloodshed hate the blameless,
But the upright are concerned for his life.
