3. The eyes of the Lord in every place behold the good and the evil.
4. A peaceable tongue is a tree of life: but that which is immoderate, shall crush the spirit.
5. A fool laugheth at the instruction of his father: but he that regardeth reproofs shall become prudent. In abundant justice there is the greatest strength: but the devices of the wicked shall be rooted out.
6. The house of the just is very much strength: and in the fruits of the wicked is trouble.
7. The lips of the wise shall disperse knowledge: the heart of fools shall be unlike.
8. The victims of the wicked are abominable to the Lord: the vows of the just are acceptable.
9. The way of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord: he that followeth justice is beloved by him.
10. Instruction is grievous to him that forsaketh the way of life: he that hateth reproof shall die.
11. Hell and destruction are before the Lord: how much more the hearts of the children of men?
12. A corrupt man loveth not one that reproveth him: nor will he go to the wise.
