Proverbs 15:1-14 NASB
Grievous punishment is for him who forsakes the way; He who hates reproof will die.aSheol and Abaddon lie open before the Lord, How much more the bhearts of men!A ascoffer does not love one who reproves him, He will not go to the wise.A ajoyful heart makes a cheerful face, But when the heart is bsad, the cspirit is broken.The amind of the intelligent seeks knowledge, But the mouth of fools feeds on folly.A agentle answer turns away wrath, But a bharsh word stirs up anger.The atongue of the wise makes knowledge acceptable, But the bmouth of fools spouts folly.The aeyes of the Lord are in every place, Watching the evil and the good.A soothing tongue is a tree of life, But perversion in it crushes the spirit.A fool rejects his father's discipline, But he who regards reproof is sensible.Great wealth is in the house of the arighteous, But trouble is in the income of the wicked.The lips of the wise spread knowledge, But the hearts of fools are not so.The asacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord, But bthe prayer of the upright is His delight.The way of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord, But He loves one who apursues righteousness.
