13A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance; but by sorrow of heart the spirit is broken.
14The heart of him that hath discernment seeketh knowledge; but the mouth of fools feedeth on folly.
15All the days of the poor are evil; but he that is of a merry heart hath a continual feast.
16Better is little with the fear of the LORD, than great treasure and turmoil therewith.
17Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred therewith.
18A wrathful man stirreth up discord; but he that is slow to anger appeaseth strife.
19The way of the sluggard is as though hedged by thorns; but the path of the upright is even.
20A wise son maketh a glad father; but a foolish man despiseth his mother.
21Folly is joy to him that lacketh understanding; but a man of discernment walketh straightforwards.
22For want of counsel purposes are frustrated; but in the multitude of counsellors they are established.
23A man hath joy in the answer of his mouth; and a word in due season, how good is it!
24The path of life goeth upward for the wise, that he may depart from the nether-world beneath.
25The LORD will pluck up the house of the proud; but He will establish the border of the widow.
26The thoughts of wickedness are an abomination to the LORD; but words of pleasantness are pure.
27He that is greedy of gain troubleth his own house; but he that hateth gifts shall live.
