3 aThe eyes of the
Lord are in every place,
Keeping watch on the evil and the good.
4 A
1 wholesome tongue
is a tree of life,
But perverseness in it breaks the spirit.
5 aA fool despises his father’s instruction,
bBut he who
1 receives correction is prudent.
6 In the house of the righteous
there is much treasure,
But in the revenue of the wicked is trouble.
7 The lips of the wise
1 disperse knowledge,
But the heart of the fool
does not
do so.
