Proverbs 15:11-13

New International Reader's Version

¹¹ Death and the Grave lie open in front of the Lord.
    So human hearts certainly lie open to him!

¹² People who make fun of others don’t like to be corrected.
    So they stay away from wise people.

¹³ A happy heart makes a face look cheerful.
    But a sad heart produces a broken spirit.
