New Testament

Proverbs 15:6-13 Modern English Version (MEV)

6. In the house of the righteous is much treasure,but in the revenue of the wicked is trouble.

7. The lips of the wise disperse knowledge,but the heart of the foolish does not do so.

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

9. The way of the wicked is an abomination unto the Lord,but He loves him who follows after righteousness.

10. Correction is grievous to him who forsakes the way,and he who hates reproof will die.

11. Death and destruction are before the Lord;so how much more the hearts of the children of men.

12. A scorner does not love one who reproves him,nor will he go to the wise.

13. A merry heart makes a cheerful countenance,but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.
