Proverbs 15:10-18
English Standard Version
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.

10 Stern discipline awaits anyone who leaves the path;
the one who hates correction will die.(A)
12 Mockers resent correction,(D)
so they avoid the wise.
14 The discerning heart seeks knowledge,(G)
but the mouth of a fool feeds on folly.
15 All the days of the oppressed are wretched,
but the cheerful heart has a continual feast.(H)
16 Better a little with the fear of the Lord
than great wealth with turmoil.(I)
17 Better a small serving of vegetables with love
than a fattened calf with hatred.(J)
