3The eyes of the Lord behold both the evil and the good in every place.
4The wholesome tongue is a tree of life, and he that keeps it shall be filled with understanding.
5A fool scorns his father's instruction; but he that keeps his commandments is more prudent. In abounding righteousness is great strength: but the ungodly shall utterly perish from the earth.
6In the houses of the righteous is much strength: but the fruits of the ungodly shall perish.
7The lips of the wise are bound by discretion: but the hearts of the foolish are not safe.
8The sacrifices of the ungodly are an abomination to the Lord; but the prayers of them that walk honestly are acceptable with him.
9The ways of an ungodly man are an abomination to the Lord; but he loves those that follow after righteousness.
10The instruction of the simple is known by them that pass by; but they that hate reproofs die disgracefully.
11Hell and destruction are manifest to the Lord; how shall not also be the hearts of men?
