4 ¹A gentle^a tongue is ²a tree of life, but ³perverseness in it breaks the spirit.

5 ⁴A fool ⁵despises his father's instruction, but ⁶whoever heeds reproof is prudent.

6 In the house of the righteous there is much treasure, but trouble befalls the income of the wicked.

7 ⁷The lips of the wise spread knowledge; ⁸not so the hearts of fools.^b

8 ⁹The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD, but ¹⁰the prayer of the upright is acceptable to him.

9 The way of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD, but he loves him ¹¹who pursues righteousness.

10 There is ¹²severe discipline for him who forsakes the way; ¹³whoever hates reproof will die.

11 Sheol and Abaddon lie open before the LORD; how much more ¹⁴the hearts of the children of man!

12 ¹⁵A scoffer ¹⁶does not like to be reproved; he will not go to the wise.

13 ¹⁷A glad heart makes a cheerful face, but by ¹⁸sorrow of heart the spirit is ¹⁹crushed.

14 ²⁰The heart of him who has understanding seeks knowledge, but the mouths of fools feed on folly.
