Proverbs [Sayings] 15:2-10

²The tongue of the wise commends knowledge, but the mouth of fools gush out folly.

³Adonai ’s eyes are everywhere, keeping watch on the evil and the good.

⁴A gentle tongue is a tree of life, but deceit in it crushes the spirit.

⁵A fool despises his father’s correction, but he who heeds reproof shows prudence.

⁶In the house of the upright is much treasure, but the income of the wicked brings trouble.

⁷The lips of the wise spread knowledge; not so with the heart of fools.

⁸The sacrifice made by the wicked is an abomination to Adonai , but the prayer of the upright is his delight.

⁹The way of the wicked is an abomination to Adonai , but he 'ahav ·affectionately loves· him who follows after righteousness.

¹⁰There is stern discipline for one who forsakes the way: whoever hates reproof shall die.
