Proverbs 15:9-19

1. 9 The way of the wicked is an abomination unto the LORD: but he loveth him that followeth after righteousness.

2. 10 Correction is grievous unto him that forsaketh the way: and he that hateth reproof shall die.

3. 11 Hell and destruction are before the LORD: how much more then the hearts of the children of men?

4. 12 A scorner loveth not one that reproveth him: neither will he go unto the wise.

5. 13 A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance: but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.

6. 14 The heart of him that hath understanding seeketh knowledge: but the mouth of fools feedeth on foolishness.

7. 15 All the days of the afflicted are evil: but he that is of a merry heart hath a continual feast.

8. 16 Better is little with the fear of the LORD than great treasure and trouble therewith.

9. 17 Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred therewith.

10. 18 A wrathful man stirreth up strife: but he that is slow to anger appeaseth strife.

11. 19 The way of the slothful man is as an hedge of thorns: but the way of the righteous is made plain.
