8 The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord, but the prayer of the upright is his delight.
9 The way of the wicked is an abomination unto the Lord, but he loves him that follows after righteousness.
10 Chastening is grievous unto him that forsakes the way, but he that hates reproof shall die.
11 Sheol and hell are before the Lord; how much more then the hearts of men?
12 The scorner does not love the one that reproves him, neither will he go unto the wise.
13 A joyful heart makes a beautiful countenance, but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is abated.
14 The heart of him that has understanding seeks wisdom, but the mouth of fools feeds on foolishness.
