5 El necio menosprecia el consejo de su padre: mas el que guarda la corrección, vendrá á ser cuerdo.

6 En la casa del justo hay gran provisión; empero turbación en las ganancias del impío.

7 Los labios de los sabios esparcen sabiduría: mas no así el corazón de los necios.

8 El sacrificio de los impíos es abominación á Jehová: mas la oración de los rectos es su gozo.

9 Abominación es á Jehová el camino del impío: mas él ama al que sigue justicia.
