7 The lips of the wise spread knowledge,but the hearts of fools have none.
8 The Lord detests the sacrifices of the wicked,but favors the prayers of those who do right.
9 The Lord detests the path of the wicked,but loves those who pursue righteousness.
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.
