Proverbs 15:3-10

³In each place the eyes of the Lord behold good men, and evil men.

⁴A pleasant tongue is the tree of life; but the tongue that is unmeasurable or untempered, shall defoul the spirit.

⁵A fool scorneth the teaching of his father; but he that keepeth blamings, shall be made wiser. Most virtue shall be in plenteous rightfulness or rightwiseness; but the thoughts of wicked men shall be drawn up by the root.

⁶The house of a just or rightwise man is full great strength; and troubling is in the fruits of a wicked man.

⁷The lips of wise men shall sow abroad knowing; the hearts of fools shall be unlike, that is, they shall be full of ignorance.

⁸The sacrifices of wicked men be abominable to the Lord; the avows of just men or the vows of rightwise men be pleasant.

⁹The life of the unpious man is abomination to the Lord; he that pur-sueth rightfulness or followeth right-wiseness, shall be loved of the Lord.

¹⁰Evil teaching is of men that forsake the way of life; he that hateth blamings shall die.
