Proverbs 15:7-13 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

7. The lips of the wise broadcast knowledge,but not so the heart of fools.

8. The sacrifice of the wicked is detestable to the Lord, but the prayer of the upright is His delight.

9. The Lord detests the way of the wicked,but He loves the one who pursues righteousness.

10. Discipline is harsh for the one who leaves the path;the one who hates correction will die.

11. Sheol and Abaddon lie open before the Lord —how much more, human hearts.

12. A mocker doesn’t love one who corrects him; he will not consult the wise.

13. A joyful heart makes a face cheerful,but a sad heart produces a broken spirit.
