10 Discipline is severe for those who abandon the way;those who hate correction will die.
11 The grave and the underworld lie open before the Lord;how much more the hearts of human beings!
12 Mockers don’t like those who correct them.They won’t go to the wise.
13 A joyful heart brightens one’s face,but a troubled heart breaks the spirit.
14 An understanding heart seeks knowledge;but fools feed on folly.
15 All the days of the needy are hard,but a happy heart has a continual feast.
16 Better a little with fear of the Lordthan a great treasure with turmoil.
