Proverbs

³The eyes of the Lord are in every place, beholding the evil and the good. ⁴A wholesome tongue is a tree of life: but perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit. ⁵A fool despiseth his father’s instruction: but he that regardeth reproof is prudent. 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 unto the Lord: but he loveth him that followeth after righteousness.
