Verse 4 is found in chapter 12 of Proverbs. The chapter begins by stating that loving discipline is loving knowledge. Correction distinguishes the wise person from the one who hates learning. The following proverbs contrast the stability of the righteous, wicked plans, deceptive words, and care for animals. Even the observation that the righteous care for their animals extends justice to the everyday treatment of creatures under human authority.

La donna di valore è la corona del suo marito; Ma quella che reca vituperio gli è come un tarlo nelle ossa
