| | 16 | Better a little with the fear of the LORD than great wealth with turmoil. | |
| | 17 | Better a meal of vegetables where there is love than a fattened calf with hatred. | |

| | 29 | The LORD is far from the wicked but he hears the prayer of the righteous. | |
| | 30 | A cheerful look brings joy to the heart, and good news gives health to the bones. | |
| | 31 | He who listens to a life-giving rebuke will be at home among the wise. | |
| | 32 | He who ignores discipline despises himself, but whoever heeds correction gains understanding. | |
| | 33 | The fear of the LORD teaches a man wisdom, and humility comes before honor. | |
