You are the one who will profit if you have wisdom, and if you reject it, you are the one who will suffer.

Don't laugh at the warning I am giving you! If you do, it will be even harder for you to escape. I have heard the LORD Almighty's decision to destroy the whole country.

It will be the end of those who oppress others and show contempt for God. Every sinner will be destroyed.

Intelligent people talk sense, but stupid people need to be punished.

You have to whip a horse, you have to bridle a donkey, and you have to beat a fool.

Because the Lord corrects everyone he loves, and punishes everyone he accepts as a child."
