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.
10Sore chastisement shall be to him that forsaketh the way; He that hateth reproof shall die.
11The underworld, yea, the region of death, is before the LORD; How much more the hearts of the sons of men!
12The scoffer loveth not his reprover; He will not resort to the wise.
13A joyous heart maketh a bright countenance; But by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.
14The heart of the man of understanding seeketh knowledge; But the mouth of fools feedeth on folly.
15The days of the afflicted are all evil; But he that hath a cheerful heart hath a continual feast.
16Better is a little, with the fear of the LORD, Than much treasure, and trouble therewith.
17Better is a dinner of herbs, where there is love, Than a fatted ox, and hatred therewith.
18The passionate man stirreth up strife; But he who is slow to anger appeaseth strife.
19The way of the slothful is as a hedge of thorns; But the way of the righteous is a highway.
20A wise son maketh a glad father; But a foolish man despiseth his mother.
21Folly is joy to him who lacketh wisdom; But the man of understanding walketh uprightly.
22Without counsel, plans come to nought; But with a multitude of counsellors they are established.
23A man hath joy by the answer of his mouth; And a word in due season, how good it is!
24The path of life is upward for the wise, So that he turneth away from the underworld beneath.
