Proverbs 15:5-7
New American Standard Bible
5 A fool [a]rejects his father’s discipline,
But he who complies with rebuke is sensible.
6 Great wealth is in the house of the (A)righteous,
But trouble is in the income of the wicked.
7 The lips of the wise spread knowledge,
But the hearts of fools are not so.

Proverbs 15:5-7
New Living Translation
5 Only a fool despises a parent’s[a] discipline;
whoever learns from correction is wise.
6 There is treasure in the house of the godly,
but the earnings of the wicked bring trouble.
7 The lips of the wise give good advice;
the heart of a fool has none to give.
