A fool spurns the instruction of his father, but he who heeds reproof is prudent.
6
In the house of the righteous is much treasure, but in the revenue of the wicked is trouble.
7
The lips of the wise disperse knowledge, but not so the heart of fools.
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 loves him who pursues righteousness.
10
Discipline is severe for him who forsakes the way, and he who hates reproof will die.
11
Sheol and Abaddon lie open before the Lord; how much more the hearts of the sons of men.

A scoffer does not love one who reproves him, nor will he go to the wise.
13
A merry heart makes a cheerful countenance, but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.

The heart of him who has understanding seeks knowledge, but the mouths of fools feed on folly.
15
All the days of the afflicted are evil, but he who is of a merry heart has a continual feast.
16
Better is little with the fear of the Lord than great treasure with trouble.
17
Better is a meal of herbs where love is than a fattened calf with hatred.
18
An angry man stirs up strife, but he who is slow to anger pacifies a quarrel.
19
The road of the sluggard is like a hedge of thorns, but the path of the righteous is a highway.
20
A wise son delights his father, but a foolish man despises his mother.
21
Folly is joy to him who is destitute of discernment, but a man of understanding walks uprightly.
22
Without counsel plans go amiss, but in the multitude of counselors they succeed.
23
A man has joy in the apt reply of his mouth, and a timely word spoken, how good it is!
24
The way of life leads upward for the wise, that he may depart from Sheol below.
25
The Lord will destroy the house of the proud, but He will maintain the boundary of the widow.
26
The thoughts of the wicked are an abomination to the Lord, but the words of the pure are pleasant.
27
He who is greedy of unjust gain troubles his own house, but he who hates bribes will live.
28
The heart of the righteous reflects on how to reply, but the mouth of the wicked spews out evil.
29
The Lord is far from the wicked, but He hears the prayer of the righteous.
30
The light of the eyes rejoices the heart, and a good report gives health to the bones.
31
The ear that hears the reproof of life abides at home among the wise.
32
He who refuses instruction despises his own soul, but he who heeds reproof gains understanding.
33
The fear of the Lord is the instruction of wisdom, and before honor is humility.
