1.  (Proverbs 10:32) The lips of the righteous know what is fitting, but the mouth of the wicked only what is perverse.  (Proverbs 6:14) …He [the perverse] always stirs up dissension.  (Proverbs 11:6) …the treacherous/unfaithful are trapped by evil desires.  (Proverbs 15:29) The LORD is far from the wicked but he hears the prayer of the righteous.  (Proverbs 13:15) Good understanding wins favor, but the way of the unfaithful is hard.

2. 1. He doesn’t learn from his mistakes. (Proverbs 26:11) As a dog returns to its vomit, so a fool repeats his folly. 2. He is sure he is right. (Proverbs 26:12) Do you see a man wise in his own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for him. (Proverbs 12:15) The way of a fool seems right to him, but a wise man listens to advice.

3.  (Proverbs 10:26) As vinegar to the teeth and smoke to the eyes, so is a sluggard to those who send him.  (Proverbs 20:4) A sluggard does not plow in season; so at harvest time he looks but finds nothing.  (Proverbs 26:13-14) The sluggard says, "There is a lion in the road, a fierce lion roaming the streets!" {14} As a door turns on its hinges, so a sluggard turns on his bed.

4.  (Proverbs 12:11) He who works his land will have abundant food, but he who chases fantasies lacks judgment (senseless).  (Proverbs 6:32) But a man who commits adultery lacks judgment (senseless); whoever does so destroys himself.
