Proverbs 15:2-7
New International Version
5 A fool spurns a parent’s discipline,
but whoever heeds correction shows prudence.(I)
6 The house of the righteous contains great treasure,(J)
but the income of the wicked brings ruin.(K)
7 The lips of the wise spread knowledge,(L)
but the hearts of fools are not upright.
Proverbs 15:2-7
King James Version
2 The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright: but the mouth of fools poureth out foolishness.
3 The eyes of the Lord are in every place, beholding the evil and the good.
4 A wholesome tongue is a tree of life: but perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit.
5 A fool despiseth his father's instruction: but he that regardeth reproof is prudent.
6 In the house of the righteous is much treasure: but in the revenues of the wicked is trouble.
7 The lips of the wise disperse knowledge: but the heart of the foolish doeth not so.
