Proverbs 15:3-9

³In every place are the eyes of the Lord, looking on the bad and the good.

⁴A healing word of the tongue is a tree of life; but perverseness therein is a breach to the spirit.

⁵A fool contemneth the correction of his father; but he that observeth admonition will become prudent.

⁶In the house of the righteous there is much treasure; but in the income of the wicked is trouble.

⁷The lips of the wise scatter knowledge; but the heart of fools is not reliable.

⁸The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination of the Lord: but, the prayer of the upright obtaineth his favor.

⁹An abomination of the Lord is the way of the wicked; but him that pursueth righteousness will he love.
