Proverbs 15:5-12

⁵The fool despiseth the correction of his father; But he that regardeth reproof is prudent.

⁶In the house of the righteous is much wealth; But in the revenues of the wicked there is trouble.

⁷The lips of the wise spread abroad knowledge; But the heart of the foolish is not sound.

⁸The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD; But the prayer of the righteous is his delight.

⁹The way of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD; But him who followeth after righteousness he loveth.

¹⁰Sore chastisement shall be to him that forsaketh the way; He that hateth reproof shall die.

¹¹The underworld, yea, the region of death, is before the LORD; How much more the hearts of the sons of men!

¹²The scoffer loveth not his reprover; He will not resort to the wise.
