Proverbs

⁵A fool despiseth his father's correction: but he that regardeth reproof getteth prudence. ⁶In the house of the righteous is much treasure: but in the revenues of the wicked is trouble. ⁷The lips of the wise disperse knowledge: but the heart of the foolish doeth not so. ⁸The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD: but the prayer of the upright is his delight. ⁹The way of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD: but he loveth him that followeth after righteousness. ¹⁰There is grievous correction for him that forsaketh the way: and he that hateth reproof shall die. ¹¹Sheol and Abaddon are before the LORD: how much more then the hearts of the children of men!
