29 Lejos está Jehová de los impíos: mas él oye la oración de los justos.

30 La luz de los ojos alegra el corazón; y la buena fama engorda los huesos.

31 La oreja que escucha la corrección de vida, entre los sabios morará.

32 El que tiene en poco la disciplina, menosprecia su alma: mas el que escucha la corrección, tiene entendimiento.

33 El temor de Jehová es enseñanza de sabiduría: y delante de la honra [está] la humildad.
