Proverbs 14:9

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

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

How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and the fools hate knowledge?

To make an abomination is as sport to the fool, but wisdom is recreation to the man of intelligence.

As a mad man who casts firebrands, arrows, and death,

Such is the track of an adulterous woman; she eats, and wipes her mouth, and says, I have done no wickedness.

How much less the man who is abominable and filthy, who drinks iniquity like water?

What man is like Job, who drinks up the scorn like water?

how that they told you, That in the last time there would be mockers, who would walk after their own ungodly desires.

So shalt thou find grace and good favour in the sight of God and man.

For whosoever finds me shall find life and shall obtain the will of the LORD.

The good man shall attain the favour of the LORD, but the man of wicked thoughts he will condemn.

Good understanding brings forth grace: but the way of transgressors is hard.

for the kingdom of God is not food and drink, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.

To make an abomination is as sport to the fool, but wisdom is recreation to the man of intelligence.
