Proverbs [Sayings] 15:6-12

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.

¹¹Sheol ·Place of the dead· and Abaddon ·Destruction, Unrighteous side of Sheol· are before Adonai, how much more then the hearts of the children of men!

¹²A scoffer does not 'ahav ·affectionately love· to be reproved; he will not go to the wise.
