14.35 :The king's favour is toward a servant that dealeth wisely;
 * But his wrath striketh him that dealeth shamefully.


 * A soft answer turneth away wrath;
 * But a grievous word stirreth up anger.


 * The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright; But the mouth of fools poureth out foolishness.


 * The eyes of the are in every place,
 * Keeping watch upon the evil and the good.


 * A soothing tongue is a tree of life;
 * But perverseness therein is a wound to the spirit.


 * A fool despiseth his father's correction;
 * But he that regardeth reproof is prudent.


 * In the house of the righteous is much treasure;
 * But in the revenues of the wicked is trouble.


 * The lips of the wise disperse knowledge;
 * But the heart of the foolish is not stedfast.


 * The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the ;
 * But the prayer of the upright is His delight.


 * The way of the wicked is an abomination to the ;
 * But He loveth him that followeth after righteousness.


 * There is grievous correction for him that forsaketh the way;
 * And he that hateth reproof shall die.


 * The nether-world and Destruction are before the ;
 * How much more then the hearts of the children of men!


 * A scorner loveth not to be reproved;
 * He will not go unto the wise.


 * A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance;
 * But by sorrow of heart the spirit is broken.


 * The heart of him that hath discernment seeketh knowledge;
 * But the mouth of fools feedeth on folly.


 * All the days of the poor are evil;
 * But he that is of a merry heart hath a continual feast.


 * Better is little with the fear of the ,
 * Than great treasure and turmoil therewith.


 * Better is a dinner of herbs where love is,
 * Than a stalled ox and hatred therewith.


 * A wrathful man stirreth up discord;
 * But he that is slow to anger appeaseth strife.


 * The way of the sluggard is as though hedged by thorns;
 * But the path of the upright is even.
