Proverbs 15:16-33


16 Better is a little with the fear of the Lord
   than great treasure and trouble with it.
17 Better is a dinner of vegetables where love is
   than a fatted ox and hatred with it.
18 Those who are hot-tempered stir up strife,
   but those who are slow to anger calm contention.
19 The way of the lazy is overgrown with thorns,
   but the path of the upright is a level highway.
20 A wise child makes a glad father,
   but the foolish despise their mothers.
21 Folly is a joy to one who has no sense,
   but a person of understanding walks straight ahead.
22 Without counsel, plans go wrong,
   but with many advisers they succeed.
23 To make an apt answer is a joy to anyone,
   and a word in season, how good it is!
24 For the wise the path of life leads upwards,
   in order to avoid Sheol below.
25 The Lord tears down the house of the proud,
   but maintains the widow’s boundaries.
26 Evil plans are an abomination to the Lord,
   but gracious words are pure.
27 Those who are greedy for unjust gain make trouble for their households,
   but those who hate bribes will live.
28 The mind of the righteous ponders how to answer,
   but the mouth of the wicked pours out evil.
29 The Lord is far from the wicked,
   but he hears the prayer of the righteous.
30 The light of the eyes rejoices the heart,
   and good news refreshes the body.
31 The ear that heeds wholesome admonition
   will lodge among the wise.
32 Those who ignore instruction despise themselves,
   but those who heed admonition gain understanding.
33 The fear of the Lord is instruction in wisdom,
   and humility goes before honour.
