9  The light of the righteous rejoices,

but the ^elamp of the wicked will be put out.

14  The teaching of the wise ^jis a fountain of life,

that one may turn away from the snares of death.

15  ^kGood sense wins favor,

but the way of the ^ltreacherous is their ruin.¹

21  Disaster¹ pursues sinners,

but the righteous are rewarded with good.
