5 L’insensé dédaigne l’instruction de son père, Mais celui qui a égard à la réprimande agit avec prudence.

6 Il y a grande abondance dans la maison du juste, Mais il y a du trouble dans les profits du méchant.

7 Les lèvres des sages répandent la science, Mais le cœur des insensés n’est pas droit.

8 Le sacrifice des méchants est en horreur à l’Éternel, Mais la prière des hommes droits lui est agréable.

9 La voie du méchant est en horreur à l’Éternel, Mais il aime celui qui poursuit la justice.
