4A soothing tongue is a tree of life; but perverseness therein is a wound to the spirit.
5A fool despiseth his father's correction; but he that regardeth reproof is prudent.
6In the house of the righteous is much treasure; but in the revenues of the wicked is trouble.
7The lips of the wise disperse knowledge; but the heart of the foolish is not stedfast.
8The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD; but the prayer of the upright is His delight.
9The way of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD; but He loveth him that followeth after righteousness.
10There is grievous correction for him that forsaketh the way; and he that hateth reproof shall die.
