Proverbs 15:10-22

¹⁰Instruction is euill to him that forsaketh the way, and he that hateth correction, shall die.

¹¹Hell and destruction are before the Lord: how much more the hearts of the sonnes of men?

¹²A scorner loueth not him that rebuketh him, neither will he goe vnto the wise.

¹³A ioyfull heart maketh a chearefull countenance: but by the sorow of the heart the minde is heauie.

¹⁴The heart of him that hath vnderstanding, seeketh knowledge: but the mouth of the foole is fedde with foolishnes.

¹⁵All the dayes of the afflicted are euill: but a good conscience is a continuall feast.

¹⁶Better is a litle with the feare of the Lord, then great treasure, and trouble therewith.

¹⁷Better is a dinner of greene herbes where loue is, then a stalled oxe and hatred therewith.

¹⁸An angrie man stirreth vp strife: but hee that is slowe to wrath, appeaseth strife.

¹⁹The way of a slouthfull man is as an hedge of thornes: but the way of the righteous is plaine.

²⁰A wise sonne reioyceth the father: but a foolish man despiseth his mother.

²¹Foolishnes is ioy to him that is destitute of vnderstanding: but a man of vnderstanding walketh vprightly.

²²Without cousel thoughts come to nought: but in the multitude of counsellers there is stedfastnesse.
