Proverbs 15:13-27
-
13 A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance: but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.
-
14 The heart of him that hath understanding seeketh knowledge: but the mouth of fools feedeth on foolishness.
-
15 All the days of the afflicted are evil: but he that is of a merry heart hath a continual feast.
-
16 Better is little with the fear of the LORD than great treasure and trouble therewith.
-
17 Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred therewith.
-
18 A wrathful man stirreth up strife: but he that is slow to anger appeaseth strife.
-
19 The way of the slothful man is as an hedge of thorns: but the way of the righteous is made plain.
-
20 A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish man despiseth his mother.
-
21 Folly is joy to him that is destitute of wisdom: but a man of understanding walketh uprightly.
-
22 Without counsel purposes are disappointed: but in the multitude of counsellors they are established.
-
23 A man hath joy by the answer of his mouth: and a word spoken in due season, how good is it!
-
24 The way of life is above to the wise, that he may depart from hell beneath.
-
25 The LORD will destroy the house of the proud: but he will establish the border of the widow.
-
26 The thoughts of the wicked are an abomination to the LORD: but the words of the pure are pleasant words.
-
27 He that is greedy of gain troubleth his own house; but he that hateth gifts shall live.
