2 The tongue of the wise adorns knowledge,but the mouth of the fool gushes folly.
3 The eyes of the Lord are everywhere,keeping watch on the wicked and the good.
4 The soothing tongue is a tree of life,but a perverse tongue crushes the spirit.
5 A fool spurns a parent’s discipline,but whoever heeds correction shows prudence.
6 The house of the righteous contains great treasure,but the income of the wicked brings ruin.
7 The lips of the wise spread knowledge,but the hearts of fools are not upright.
8 The Lord detests the sacrifice of the wicked,but the prayer of the upright pleases him.
