Proverbs 15:10-18

English Standard Version

¹⁰ There is ^(A)severe discipline for him who forsakes the way;
    ^(B)whoever hates reproof will die.
¹¹ Sheol and Abaddon lie open before the Lord;
    how much more ^(C)the hearts of the children of man!
^12 (D)A scoffer ^(E)does not like to be reproved;
    he will not go to the wise.
^13 (F)A glad heart makes a cheerful face,
    but by ^(G)sorrow of heart the spirit is ^(H)crushed.
^14 (I)The heart of him who has understanding seeks knowledge,
    but the mouths of fools feed on folly.
¹⁵ All the days of the afflicted are evil,
    but ^(J)the cheerful of heart has a continual feast.
^16 (K)Better is a little with the fear of the Lord
    than great treasure and trouble with it.
^17 (L)Better is a dinner of herbs where love is
    than ^(M)a fattened ox and hatred with it.
^18 (N)A hot-tempered man ^(O)stirs up strife,
    but he who is ^(P)slow to anger quiets contention.
