Proverbs 15:5-11 Common English Bible (CEB)

5. A fool doesn’t like a father’s instruction,but those who heed correction are mature.

6. Great treasure is in the house of the righteous,but the gain of the wicked brings trouble.

7. The lips of the wise spread knowledge,but the hearts of fools have none.

8. The Lord detests the sacrifices of the wicked,but favors the prayers of those who do right.

9. The Lord detests the path of the wicked,but loves those who pursue righteousness.

10. Discipline is severe for those who abandon the way;those who hate correction will die.

11. The grave and the underworld lie open before the Lord;how much more the hearts of human beings!
