Proverbs 15:5: A fool despiseth the instruction of his father, And whoso is regarding reproof is prudent. Proverbs 15:6: In the house of the righteous is abundant strength, And in the increase of the wicked &#8212; trouble.

Proverbs 15:8: The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to Jehovah, And the prayer of the upright is His delight. Proverbs 15:9: An abomination to Jehovah is the way of the wicked, And whoso is pursuing righteousness He loveth.

Proverbs 15:14: The heart of the intelligent seeketh knowledge, And the mouth of fools enjoyeth folly. Proverbs 15:15: All the days of the afflicted are evil, And gladness of heart is a perpetual banquet. Proverbs 15:16: Better is a little with the fear of Jehovah, Than much treasure, and tumult with it. Proverbs 15:17: Better is an allowance of green herbs and love there, Than a fatted ox, and hatred with it. Proverbs 15:18: A man of fury stirreth up contention, And the slow to anger appeaseth strife.

Proverbs 15:21: Folly is joy to one lacking heart, And a man of intelligence directeth his going. Proverbs 15:22: Without counsel is the making void of purposes, And in a multitude of counsellors it is established. Proverbs 15:23: Joy is to a man in the answer of his mouth, And a word in its season &#8212; how good! Proverbs 15:24: A path of life is on high for the wise, To turn aside from Sheol beneath. Proverbs 15:25: The house of the proud Jehovah pulleth down, And He setteth up the border of the widow. Proverbs 15:26: An abomination to Jehovah are thoughts of wickedness, And pure are sayings of pleasantness. Proverbs 15:27: A dishonest gainer is troubling his house, And whoso is hating gifts liveth.

Proverbs 15:29: Far is Jehovah from the wicked, And the prayer of the righteous He heareth. Proverbs 15:30: The light of the eyes rejoiceth the heart, A good report maketh fat the bone. Proverbs 15:31: An ear that is hearing the reproof of life Doth lodge among the wise. Proverbs 15:32: Whoso is refusing instruction is despising his soul, And whoso is hearing reproof Is getting understanding. Proverbs 15:33: The fear of Jehovah is the instruction of wisdom, And before honour is humility!
