Proverbs 15:9-15

⁹The life of the unpious man is abomination to the Lord; he that pur-sueth rightfulness or followeth right-wiseness, shall be loved of the Lord.

¹⁰Evil teaching is of men that forsake the way of life; he that hateth blamings shall die.

¹¹Hell and perdition be open before the Lord; how much more the hearts of the sons of men.

¹²A man full of pestilence loveth not him that reproveth him; and he goeth not to wise men.

¹³A joyful heart maketh glad the face; the spirit is cast down in the mourning of soul.

¹⁴The heart of a wise man seeketh teaching; and the mouth of fools is fed with unknowing.

¹⁵All the days of a poor man be evil; a secure soul is a continual feast.
