Proverbs 15:12-14

New International Version

¹²Mockers resent correction,^(A)
so they avoid the wise.

¹³A happy heart makes the face cheerful,^(B)
but heartache crushes the spirit.^(C)

¹⁴The discerning heart seeks knowledge,^(D)
but the mouth of a fool feeds on folly.

Proverbs 15:12-14

King James Version

¹²A scorner loveth not one that reproveth him: neither will he go unto the wise.

¹³A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance: but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.

¹⁴The heart of him that hath understanding seeketh knowledge: but the mouth of fools feedeth on foolishness.
