Proverbs 15:3-10 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

3. The eyes of the Lord in every place behold the good and the evil.

4. A peaceable tongue is a tree of life: but that which is immoderate, shall crush the spirit.

5. A fool laugheth at the instruction of his father: but he that regardeth reproofs shall become prudent. In abundant justice there is the greatest strength: but the devices of the wicked shall be rooted out.

6. The house of the just is very much strength: and in the fruits of the wicked is trouble.

7. The lips of the wise shall disperse knowledge: the heart of fools shall be unlike.

8. The victims of the wicked are abominable to the Lord: the vows of the just are acceptable.

9. The way of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord: he that followeth justice is beloved by him.

10. Instruction is grievous to him that forsaketh the way of life: he that hateth reproof shall die.
