29 Longe está o SENHOR dos perversos, mas ele escuta a oração dos justos.

30 A luz dos olhos alegra o coração; a boa notícia fortalece os ossos.

31 Os ouvidos que escutam a repreensão da vida habitarão entre os sábios.

32 Quem rejeita correção menospreza sua [própria] alma; mas aquele que escuta a repreensão adquire entendimento.

33 O temor ao SENHOR corrige sabiamente; e antes da honra [vem] a humildade.
