'Love' in the Bible

"How long will you simpletons love naivet?? How long will mockers delight in mockery and fools hate knowledge?

Do not forsake wisdom, and she will protect you; love her, and she will guard you.

a loving doe, a graceful deer; may her breasts satisfy you at all times, may you be captivated by her love always.

I love those who love me, and those who seek me find me.

that I may cause those who love me to inherit wealth, and that I may fill their treasuries.

But the one who does not find me brings harm to himself; all who hate me love death."

Do not reprove a mocker or he will hate you; reprove a wise person and he will love you.

Hatred stirs up dissension, but love covers all transgressions.

A poor person is disliked even by his neighbors, but those who love the rich are many.

Do not those who devise evil go astray? But those who plan good exhibit faithful covenant love.

The scorner does not love one who corrects him; he will not go to the wise.

Better a meal of vegetables where there is love than a fattened ox where there is hatred.

Through loyal love and truth iniquity is appeased; through fearing the Lord one avoids evil.

The delight of kings is righteous counsel, and they love the one who speaks uprightly.

The one who forgives an offense seeks love, but whoever repeats a matter separates close friends.

Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love its use will eat its fruit.

What is desirable for a person is to show loyal love, and a poor person is better than a liar.

Do not love sleep, lest you become impoverished; open your eyes so that you might be satisfied with food.

Loyal love and truth preserve a king, and his throne is upheld by loyal love.

The one who pursues righteousness and love finds life, bounty, and honor.

Better is open rebuke than hidden love.
