“A scorner loveth not one that reproveth him: Neither will he go unto the wise.
A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance: But by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.
The heart of him that hath understanding seeketh knowledge: But the mouth of fools feedeth on foolishness.
All the days of the afflicted are evil: But he that is of a merry heart hath a continual feast.
Better is little with the fear of the LORD Than great treasure and trouble therewith. Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, Than a stalled ox and hatred therewith.
A wrathful man stirreth up strife: But he that is slow to anger appeaseth strife.
The way of the slothful man is as an hedge of thorns: But the way of the righteous is made plain.
A wise son maketh a glad father: But a foolish man despiseth his mother.
Folly is joy to him that is destitute of wisdom: But a man of understanding walketh uprightly.”
Proverbs 15:12-21 KJV
