6 There is much wealth in the houses of good people.But evil people are paid only with trouble.
7 With their words wise people spread knowledge.But there is no knowledge in the thoughts of the foolish.
8 The Lord hates the sacrifice that the wicked person offers.But he is pleased with an honest person’s prayer.
9 The Lord hates what evil people do.But he loves those who do what is right.
10 The person who quits doing what is right will really be punished.The one who hates to be corrected will die.
11 The Lord knows what is happening where the dead people are.So he can surely know what living people are thinking.
12 A person who laughs at wisdom does not like to be corrected.He will not ask advice from the wise.
