6 [In] the house of the righteous [there is] much treasure, but the income of the wicked brings trouble.
8 The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination of Yahweh, but the prayer of the upright [is] his delight.
9 An abomination of Yahweh is the way of the wicked, but he who pursues righteousness he will love.
13 A heart of gladness will make good {countenance}, but in sorrow of heart a spirit is broken.
14 The heart of him who understands will seek knowledge, but the faces of fools, they will feed on folly.
17 Better [is] a dinner of vegetables when love [is] there than a fattened ox and hatred with it.
18 A man who is hot-tempered will stir up strife, but he who is slow [to] {anger}, he will calm contention.
21 Folly is a joy to him who lacks {sense}, and a person of understanding {will walk upright}.
23 Joy [belongs] to a man with answers in his mouth, and a word in its time, how good [it is]!
24 The path of life [leads] upward for him who has insight, in order to turn away from Sheol below.
25 The house of the proud, Yahweh will tear [it] down, but he will maintain the {property line} of the widow.
27 He who makes trouble for his house [is] he who is greedy for unjust gain, but he who hates bribes will live.
28 A heart of righteousness will ponder the answer, but a mouth of wickedness will pour out deceit.
31 The ear of him who listens [to] admonitions of life, in the midst of the wise it will lodge.
