Proverbs 15:9-15

⁹The way of the wicked is an abomination vnto the Lord: but he loueth him that followeth righteousnes.

¹⁰Instruction is euill to him that forsaketh the way, and he that hateth correction, shall die.

¹¹Hell and destruction are before the Lord: how much more the hearts of the sonnes of men?

¹²A scorner loueth not him that rebuketh him, neither will he goe vnto the wise.

¹³A ioyfull heart maketh a chearefull countenance: but by the sorow of the heart the minde is heauie.

¹⁴The heart of him that hath vnderstanding, seeketh knowledge: but the mouth of the foole is fedde with foolishnes.

¹⁵All the dayes of the afflicted are euill: but a good conscience is a continuall feast.
