Proverbs 15:12-17

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.
