Proverbs 15 (NKJV)

¹ But a harsh word stirs up anger. ² But the mouth of fools pours forth foolishness. ³ Keeping watch on the evil and the good. ⁴ But perverseness in it breaks the spirit. ⁵ But he who receives correction is prudent. ⁶ But in the revenue of the wicked is trouble. ⁷ But the heart of the fool does not do so. ⁸ But the prayer of the upright is His delight. ⁹ But He loves him who follows righteousness. ¹⁰ And he who hates correction will die. ¹¹ So how much more the hearts of the sons of men. ¹² Nor will he go to the wise. ¹³ But by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken. ¹⁴ But the mouth of fools feeds on foolishness. ¹⁵ But he who is of a merry heart has a continual feast. ¹⁶ Than great treasure with trouble. ¹⁷ Than a fatted calf with hatred. ¹⁸ But he who is slow to anger allays contention. ¹⁹ But the way of the upright is a highway. ²⁰ But a foolish man despises his mother. ²¹ But a man of understanding walks uprightly. ²² But in the multitude of counselors they are established. ²³ And a word spoken in due season, how good it is! ²⁴ That he may turn away from hell below. ²⁵ But He will establish the boundary of the widow. ²⁶ But the words of the pure are pleasant. ²⁷ But he who hates bribes will live. ²⁸ But the mouth of the wicked pours forth evil. ²⁹ But He hears the prayer of the righteous. ³⁰ And a good report makes the bones healthy. ³¹ Will abide among the wise. ³² But he who heeds rebuke gets understanding. ³³ And before honor is humility.
