Proverbs 15:8-13 American Standard Version (ASV)

8. The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to Jehovah; But the prayer of the upright is his delight.

9. The way of the wicked is an abomination to Jehovah; But he loveth him that followeth after righteousness.

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.
