Proverbs 15:10-17 American Standard Version (ASV)

10. There is grievous correction for him that forsaketh the way; And he that hateth reproof shall die.

11. Sheol and Abaddon are before Jehovah: How much more then the hearts of the children of men!

12. A scoffer loveth not to be reproved; He will not go unto the wise.

13. A glad heart maketh a cheerful countenance; But by sorrow of heart the spirit is broken.

14. The heart of him that hath understanding seeketh knowledge; But the mouth of fools feedeth on folly.

15. All the days of the afflicted are evil; But he that is of a cheerful heart hath a continual feast.

16. Better is little, with the fear of Jehovah, Than great treasure and trouble therewith.

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