8 The sacrifice made by the wicked is an abomination to Yahweh, But the prayer of the upright is his delight.
9 The way of the wicked is an abomination to Yahweh, But he loves him who follows after righteousness.
10 There is stern discipline for one who forsakes the way: Whoever hates reproof shall die.
11 Sheol and Abaddon are before Yahweh -- How much more then the hearts of the children of men!
12 A scoffer doesn`t love to be reproved; He will not go to the wise.
13 A glad heart makes a cheerful face; But an aching heart breaks the spirit.
14 The heart of one who has understanding seeks knowledge, But the mouths of fools feed on folly.
