In context
9 An abomination to Jehovah is the way of the wicked, And whoso is pursuing righteousness He loveth.
10 Chastisement is grievous to him who is forsaking the path, Whoso is hating reproof dieth.
11 Sheol and destruction are before Jehovah, Surely also the hearts of the sons of men.
12 A scorner loveth not his reprover, Unto the wise he goeth not.
13 A joyful heart maketh glad the face, And by grief of heart is the spirit smitten.
14 The heart of the intelligent seeketh knowledge, And the mouth of fools enjoyeth folly.
15 All the days of the afflicted are evil, And gladness of heart is a perpetual banquet.
