Proverbs 15:11-13
King James Version
11 Hell and destruction are before the Lord: how much more then the hearts of the children of men?
12 A scorner loveth not one that reproveth him: neither will he go unto the wise.
13 A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance: but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.

11 [a](A)Sheol and [b]Abaddon lie open before the Lord,
How much more the (B)hearts of [c]mankind!
12 A (C)scoffer does not love one who rebukes him;
He will not go to the wise.
13 A (D)joyful heart makes a [d]cheerful face,
But [e]when the heart is (E)sad, the (F)spirit is broken.
