23Joy comes to a man with the reply of his mouth. How good is a word at the right time!
24The path of life leads upward for the wise, to keep him from going downward to Sheol.
25The LORD will uproot the house of the proud, but he will keep the widow’s borders intact.
26The LORD detests the thoughts of the wicked, but the thoughts of the pure are pleasing.
27He who is greedy for gain troubles his own house, but he who hates bribes will live.
28The heart of the righteous weighs answers, but the mouth of the wicked gushes out evil.
29The LORD is far from the wicked, but he hears the prayer of the righteous.
30The light of the eyes rejoices the heart. Good news gives health to the bones.
31The ear that listens to reproof lives, and will be at home amongst the wise.
32He who refuses correction despises his own soul, but he who listens to reproof gets understanding.
