5 Don't be a fooland disobey your parents.Be clever! Accept correction.
6 Good people become wealthy,but those who are evilwill lose what they have.
7 Words of wisdommake good sense;the thoughts of a foolmake no sense at all.
8 The Lord is disgustedby gifts from the wicked,but it makes him happywhen his people pray.
9 The Lord is disgustedwith all who do wrong,but he loves everyonewho does right.
10 If you turn from the right way,you will be punished;if you refuse correction,you will die.
11 If the Lord can see everythingin the world of the dead,he can see in our hearts.
