Correction [is] grievous unto him that forsaketh the way: [and] he that hateth reproof shall die.
Hell and destruction [are] before the LORD: how much more then the hearts of the children of men?
A scorner loveth not one that reproveth him: neither will he go unto the wise.
A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance: but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.
The heart of him that hath understanding seeketh knowledge: but the mouth of fools feedeth on foolishness.
All the days of the afflicted [are] evil: but he that is of a merry heart [hath] a continual feast.
Better [is] little with the fear of the LORD than great treasure and trouble therewith.
Better [is] a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred therewith.
A wrathful man stirreth up strife: but [he that is] slow to anger appeaseth strife.
The way of the slothful [man is] as an hedge of thorns: but the way of the righteous [is] made plain.
