New Testament

Proverbs 15:9-18 Common English Bible (CEB)

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.

16. Better a little with fear of the Lordthan a great treasure with turmoil.

17. Better a meal of greens with lovethan a plump calf with hate.

18. Hotheads stir up conflict,but patient people calm down strife.
