About the better way of the faithful:

A wise son heeds his father's instruction, but a mocker does not listen to rebuke. � He who guards his lips guards his life, but he who speaks rashly will come to ruin. � The teaching of the wise is a fountain of life, turning a man from the snares of death. � Good understanding wins favor, but the way of the unfaithful is hard. � From the fruit of his lips a man enjoys good things, but the unfaithful have a craving for violence. � Every prudent man acts out of knowledge, but a fool exposes his folly. � Even in laughter the heart may ache, and joy may end in grief. � The faithless will be fully repaid for their ways, and the good man rewarded for his. � A simple man believes anything, but a prudent man gives thought to his steps. � He who despises his neighbor sins, but blessed is he who is kind to the needy. � Do not those who plot evil go astray? But those who plan what is good find love and faithfulness. � All hard work brings a profit, but mere talk leads only to poverty. � The Lord detests all the proud of heart. Be sure of this: They will not go unpunished. � Through love and faithfulness sin is atoned for; through the fear of the Lord a man avoids evil. � When a man's ways are pleasing to the Lord, he makes even his enemies live at peace with him. �
