3The eyes of the LORD are in every place; They behold the evil and the good.
4A mild tongue is a tree of life; But perverseness therein is a wound in the spirit.
5The fool despiseth the correction of his father; But he that regardeth reproof is prudent.
6In the house of the righteous is much wealth; But in the revenues of the wicked there is trouble.
7The lips of the wise spread abroad knowledge; But the heart of the foolish is not sound.
8The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD; But the prayer of the righteous is his delight.
9The way of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD; But him who followeth after righteousness he loveth.
