2 The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright: but the mouth of fools poureth out foolishness.
6 In the house of the righteous is much treasure: but in the revenues of the wicked is trouble.
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 loveth him that followeth after righteousness.
10 Correction is grievous to him that forsaketh the way: and he that hateth reproof shall die.
11 Hell and destruction are before the LORD: how much more then the hearts of the children of men?
13 A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance: but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.
14 The heart of him that hath understanding seeketh knowledge: but the mouth of fools feedeth on foolishness.
15 All the days of the afflicted are evil: but he that is of a merry heart hath a continual feast.
19 The way of the slothful man is as a hedge of thorns: but the way of the righteous is made plain.
21 Folly is joy to him that is destitute of wisdom: but a man of understanding walketh uprightly.
22 Without counsel purposes are disappointed: but in the multitude of counselors they are established.
23 A man hath joy by the answer of his mouth: and a word spoken in due season, how good it is!
25 The LORD will destroy the house of the proud: but he will establish the border of the widow.
26 The thoughts of the wicked are an abomination to the LORD: but the words of the pure are pleasant words.
28 The heart of the righteous studieth to answer: but the mouth of the wicked poureth out evil things.
32 He that refuseth instruction despiseth his own soul: but he that heareth reproof getteth understanding.
