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.
11The nether-world and Destruction are before the LORD; how much more then the hearts of the children of men!
12A scorner loveth not to be reproved; he will not go unto the wise.
13A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance; but by sorrow of heart the spirit is broken.
14The heart of him that hath discernment seeketh knowledge; but the mouth of fools feedeth on folly.
15All the days of the poor are evil; but he that is of a merry heart hath a continual feast.
16Better is little with the fear of the LORD, than great treasure and turmoil therewith.
17Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred therewith.
18A wrathful man stirreth up discord; but he that is slow to anger appeaseth strife.
19The way of the sluggard is as though hedged by thorns; but the path of the upright is even.
20A wise son maketh a glad father; but a foolish man despiseth his mother.
21Folly is joy to him that lacketh understanding; but a man of discernment walketh straightforwards.
