9. The Lord abhors the way of the wicked,but he loves those who pursue righteousness.
10. Severe discipline is for the one who abandons the way;the one who hates reproof will die.
11. Death and Destruction are before the Lord – how much more the hearts of humans!
12. The scorner does not love one who corrects him;he will not go to the wise.
13. A joyful heart makes the face cheerful,but by a painful heart the spirit is broken.
14. The discerning heart seeks knowledge,but the mouth of fools feeds on folly.
15. All the days of the afflicted are bad,but one with a cheerful heart has a continual feast.
