Proverbs 15:11-18

Hell and destruction are the concern of the LORD; how much more then, the hearts of the children of men?

A scorner loveth not one that reproveth him, neither will he go unto the wise.

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

The heart of him that hath understanding seeketh knowledge, but the mouth of fools feedeth on foolishness.

All the days of the afflicted are evil, but he that is of a merry heart hath a continual feast.

Better is little with the fear of the LORD, than great treasure and trouble therewith.

Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a fattened ox and hatred therewith.

A wrathful man stirreth up strife, but he that is slow to anger appeaseth strife.
