Verse 8 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.

Eines weisen Mannes Rat wird gelobt; aber die da tückisch sind, werden zu Schanden.
Según su sabiduría es alabado el hombre: Mas el perverso de corazón será en menosprecio.
Un homme est estimé en raison de son intelligence, Et celui qui a le coeur pervers est l'objet du mépris.
L’uomo sarà lodato secondo il suo senno; Ma chi è stravolto d’animo sarà in isprezzo
Cada qual será louvado segundo o seu entendimento, mas o perverso de coração estará em desprezo.
人按自己的智慧得稱讚; 心中偏邪的,必被藐視。
