Proverbs 15:7-14

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.

¹¹Before the Lord are the underworld and destruction: how much more, then, the hearts of the children of men!

¹²The hater of authority has no love for teaching: he will not go to the wise.

¹³A glad heart makes a shining face, but by the sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.

¹⁴The heart of the man of good sense goes in search of knowledge, but foolish things are the food of the unwise.
