12. A scorner loveth not one that reproveth him: neither will he go to the wise.
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.
16. Better is little with the fear of the LORD, than great treasure and trouble with it.
17. Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred with it.
18. A wrathful man stirreth up strife: but he that is slow to anger appeaseth strife.
