Proverbs 15:8-15 Common English Bible (CEB)

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!

12. Mockers don’t like those who correct them.They won’t go to the wise.

13. A joyful heart brightens one’s face,but a troubled heart breaks the spirit.

14. An understanding heart seeks knowledge;but fools feed on folly.

15. All the days of the needy are hard,but a happy heart has a continual feast.
