The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to Jehovah; But the prayer of the upright is his delight.
Righteous lips are the delight of kings; And they love him that speaketh right.
A fool hath no delight in understanding, But only that his heart may reveal itself.
My son, give me thy heart; And let thine eyes delight in my ways.
But to them that rebuke him'shall be delight, And a good blessing shall come upon them.
Correct thy son, and he will give thee rest; Yea, he will give delight unto thy soul.
