Proverbs
Chapters 15:8-14
Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version
8The Lord hates the offerings of the wicked, but he is happy to hear the prayers of those who live right.
9The Lord hates the way evil people live, but he loves those who try to do good.
10Whoever stops living right will be punished. Whoever hates to be corrected will be destroyed.
11The Lord knows everything, even what happens in the place of death. So surely he knows what people are thinking.
12Fools hate to be told they are wrong, so they refuse to ask wise people for advice.
13If you are happy, your face shows it. If you are sad, your spirit feels defeated.
14Intelligent people want more knowledge, but fools only want more nonsense.
