9 An abomination of Yahweh is the way of the wicked, but he who pursues righteousness he will love.
10 Severe discipline belongs to him who forsakes the way; he who hates a rebuke will die.
11 Sheol and Abaddon are before Yahweh, how much more the hearts of the children of men!
12 A scoffer does not like his rebuke; to the wise he will not go.
13 A heart of gladness will make good countenance, but in sorrow of heart a spirit is broken.
14 The heart of him who understands will seek knowledge, but the faces of fools, they will feed on folly.
15 All the days of the poor are hard, but goodness of heart is a continuous feast.
