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 to the Lord,but he loves one who pursues justice.
10 Discipline seems bad to those going astray;one who hates reproof will die.
11 Sheol and Abaddon lie open before the Lord;how much more the hearts of mortals!
12 Scoffers do not love reproof;to the wise they will not go.
13 A glad heart lights up the face,but an anguished heart breaks the spirit.
14 The discerning heart seeks knowledge,but the mouth of fools feeds on folly.
