11 Death and Destruction lie open before the Lord –how much more do human hearts!
12 Mockers resent correction,so they avoid the wise.
13 A happy heart makes the face cheerful,but heartache crushes the spirit.
14 The discerning heart seeks knowledge,but the mouth of a fool feeds on folly.
15 All the days of the oppressed are wretched,but the cheerful heart has a continual feast.
16 Better a little with the fear of the Lordthan great wealth with turmoil.
17 Better a dish of vegetables with lovethan a fattened calf with hatred.
