Proverbs 12:1-2

Chapter 12
1 Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge,

2 A good person wins favor from the Lord,
but the schemer he condemns.[b]
Footnotes
- 12:1 Discipline in Proverbs is both doctrine and training. The path to wisdom includes obedience to teachers and parents, acceptance of the community’s traditions.
- 12:2 The antithesis is between the good person who, by reason of that goodness, already has divine acceptance, and the wicked person who, despite great effort, gains only condemnation.
