12The hater of authority has no love for teaching: he will not go to the wise.
13A glad heart makes a shining face, but by the sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.
14The heart of the man of good sense goes in search of knowledge, but foolish things are the food of the unwise.
15All the days of the troubled are evil; but he whose heart is glad has an unending feast.
16Better is a little with the fear of the Lord, than great wealth together with trouble.
17Better is a simple meal where love is, than a fat ox and hate with it.
18An angry man makes men come to blows, but he who is slow to get angry puts an end to fighting.
