Proverbs 15:3-10

³The eyes of the Lord are in every place, keeping watch on the evil and the good.

⁴A comforting tongue is a tree of life, but a twisted tongue is a crushing of the spirit.

⁵A foolish man puts no value on his father's training; but he who has respect for teaching has good sense.

⁶In the house of the upright man there is a great store of wealth; but in the profits of the sinner there is trouble.

⁷The lips of the wise keep knowledge, but the heart of the foolish man is not right.

⁸The offering of the evil-doer is disgusting to the Lord, but the prayer of the upright man is his delight.

⁹The way of the evil-doer is disgusting to the Lord, but he who goes after righteousness is dear to him.

¹⁰There is bitter punishment for him who is turned from the way; and death will be the fate of the hater of teaching.
