12A scorner loveth not one that reproveth him; he will not go unto the wise.
13A joyful heart maketh a cheerful countenance; but by sorrow of heart the spirit is broken.
14The heart of an intelligent man seeketh knowledge; but the mouth of the foolish feedeth on folly.
15All the days of the afflicted are evil; but a cheerful heart is a continual feast.
16Better is little with the fear of Jehovah than great store and disquietude therewith.
17Better is a meal of herbs where love is, than a fatted ox and hatred therewith.
