Proverbs
Chapters 15:9-15
New International Version Anglicized
9The Lord detests the way of the wicked,but he loves those who pursue righteousness.
10Stern discipline awaits anyone who leaves the path;the one who hates correction will die.
11Death and Destruction lie open before the Lord –how much more do human hearts!
12Mockers resent correction,so they avoid the wise.
13A happy heart makes the face cheerful,but heartache crushes the spirit.
14The discerning heart seeks knowledge,but the mouth of a fool feeds on folly.
15All the days of the oppressed are wretched,but the cheerful heart has a continual feast.
