12 A scorner loveth not one that reproveth him:neither will he go unto the wise.
13 A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance:but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.
14 The heart of him that hath understanding seeketh knowledge:but the mouth of fools feedeth on foolishness.
15 All the days of the afflicted are evil:but he that is of a merry heart hath a continual feast.
16 Better is little with the fear of the Lord,than great treasure and trouble therewith.
17 Better is a dinner of herbs where love is,than a stalled ox and hatred therewith.
18 A wrathful man stirreth up strife:but he that is slow to anger appeaseth strife.
