12A scorner loveth not that one should admonish him: unto the wise doth he not go.
13A merry heart cheereth up the countenance; but when the heart feeleth pain the spirit is depressed.
14The heart of the man of understanding seeketh knowledge; but the mouth of fools feedeth on folly.
15All the days of the afflicted are evil; but he that is of a cheerful heart hath a continual feast.
16Better is little with the fear of the Lord, than great treasure and confusion therewith.
