Proverbs 14:9

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

Fools make a mock at sin: but among the righteous there is favour.

"How long, you simple ones, will you love simplicity? How long will mockers delight themselves in mockery, and fools hate knowledge?

It is a fool's pleasure to do wickedness, but wisdom is a man of understanding's pleasure.

Like a madman who shoots firebrands, arrows, and death,

"So is the way of an adulterous woman: she eats and wipes her mouth, and says, 'I have done nothing wrong.'

how much less one who is abominable and corrupt, a man who drinks iniquity like water.

What man is like Job, who drinks scorn like water,

They said to you that "In the last time there will be mockers, walking after their own ungodly lusts."

So you will find favor, and good understanding in the sight of God and man.

For whoever finds me, finds life, and will obtain favor from the LORD.

A good man shall obtain favor from the LORD, but he will condemn a man of wicked devices.

Good understanding wins favor; but the way of the unfaithful is hard.

for the Kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.

It is a fool's pleasure to do wickedness, but wisdom is a man of understanding's pleasure.
