The King James Version Bible

Proverbs 15:24-33

  1. The way of life is above to the wise, that he may depart from hell beneath.

  2. The LORD will destroy the house of the proud: but he will establish the border of the widow.

  3. The thoughts of the wicked are an abomination to the LORD: but the words of the pure are pleasant words.

  4. He that is greedy of gain troubleth his own house; but he that hateth gifts shall live.

  5. The heart of the righteous studieth to answer: but the mouth of the wicked poureth out evil things.

  6. The LORD is far from the wicked: but he heareth the prayer of the righteous.

  7. The light of the eyes rejoiceth the heart: and a good report maketh the bones fat.

  8. The ear that heareth the reproof of life abideth among the wise.

  9. He that refuseth instruction despiseth his own soul: but he that heareth reproof getteth understanding.

  10. The fear of the LORD is the instruction of wisdom; and before honour is humility.
