Proverbs 15:11–17

11

Sheol and Abaddon are before the LORD—

how much more then the hearts of the children of men!

12

A scoffer doesn’t love to be reproved;

he will not go to the wise.

13

A glad heart makes a cheerful face,

but an aching heart breaks the spirit.

14
Selected verse

The heart of one who has understanding seeks knowledge,

but the mouths of fools feed on folly.

15

All the days of the afflicted are wretched,

but one who has a cheerful heart enjoys a continual feast.

16

Better is little, with the fear of the LORD,

than great treasure with trouble.

17

Better is a dinner of herbs, where love is,

than a fattened calf with hatred.
