Proverbs 15:19-33
-
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.
-
28 The heart of the righteous studieth to answer: but the mouth of the wicked poureth out evil things.
-
29 The LORD is far from the wicked: but he heareth the prayer of the righteous.
-
30 The light of the eyes rejoiceth the heart: and a good report maketh the bones fat.
-
31 The ear that heareth the reproof of life abideth among the wise.
-
32 He that refuseth instruction despiseth his own soul: but he that heareth reproof getteth understanding.
-
33 The fear of the LORD is the instruction of wisdom; and before honour is humility.
