29 L’Éternel s’éloigne des méchants, Mais il écoute la prière des justes.

30 Ce qui plaît aux yeux réjouit le cœur; Une bonne nouvelle fortifie les membres.

31 L’oreille attentive aux réprimandes qui mènent à la vie Fait son séjour au milieu des sages.

32 Celui qui rejette la correction méprise son âme, Mais celui qui écoute la réprimande acquiert l’intelligence.

33 La crainte de l’Éternel enseigne la sagesse, Et l’humilité précède la gloire.
