Verse 5 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.

Die Gedanken der Gerechten sind redlich; aber die Anschläge der Gottlosen sind Trügerei.
Los pensamientos de los justos son rectitud; Mas los consejos de los impíos, engaño.
Les pensées des justes ne sont qu'équité; Les desseins des méchants ne sont que fraude.
I pensieri de’ giusti son dirittura; Ma i consigli degli empi son frode
Os pensamentos dos justos são retos, mas os conselhos dos ímpios, engano.
義人的思念是公平; 惡人的計謀是詭詐。
