Proverbs 15:4-8

⁴A wholesome tongue is a tree of life: But perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit.

⁵A fool despiseth his father’s instruction: But he that regardeth reproof is prudent.

⁶In the house of the righteous is much treasure: But in the revenues of the wicked is trouble.

⁷The lips of the wise disperse knowledge: But the heart of the foolish doeth not so.

⁸The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord: But the prayer of the upright is his delight.
