8 The sacrifice of the wicked is detestable to the Lord, but the prayer of the upright is His delight.
9 The Lord detests the way of the wicked,but He loves the one who pursues righteousness.
10 Discipline is harsh for the one who leaves the path;the one who hates correction will die.
11 Sheol and Abaddon lie open before the Lord —how much more, human hearts.
12 A mocker doesn’t love one who corrects him; he will not consult the wise.
13 A joyful heart makes a face cheerful,but a sad heart produces a broken spirit.
14 A discerning mind seeks knowledge, but the mouth of fools feeds on foolishness.
