3 In every place, the eyes of Yahweh keep watch over the evil and the good.
4 Gentleness of tongue is a tree of life, but perverseness in it causes a break in spirit.
5 A fool will despise the instruction of his father, but he who guards reproof is prudent.
6 In the house of the righteous there is much treasure, but the income of the wicked brings trouble.
7 The lips of the wise will spread knowledge, but the heart of fools, not so.
8 The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination of Yahweh, but the prayer of the upright is his delight.
9 An abomination of Yahweh is the way of the wicked, but he who pursues righteousness he will love.
