Proverbs 15: 8-11, 24-33


8 The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord,
   but the prayer of the upright is his delight.
9 The way of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord,
   but he loves the one who pursues righteousness.
10 There is severe discipline for one who forsakes the way,
   but one who hates a rebuke will die.
11 Sheol and Abaddon lie open before the Lord,
   how much more human hearts!
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.
