Proverbs 14:34-Proverbs 15:19 - Wise Ways To Live
34 Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people.
35 The king's favor is toward a servant who deals wisely, but his wrath will be [to] him who causes shame.
1 A soft answer turns away wrath, but a grievous word stirs up anger.
2 The tongue of the wise utters knowledge rightly, but the mouth of fools pours out folly.
3 The eyes of LORD are in every place, keeping watch upon the evil and the good.
4 A gentle tongue is a tree of life, but perverseness in it is a breaking of the spirit.
5 A fool despises his father's correction, but he who regards reproof gets prudence.
6 In the house of a righteous man is much treasure, but in the revenues of a wicked man is trouble.
7 The lips of the wise disperse knowledge, but the heart of the foolish, not so.
8 The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to LORD, but the prayer of the upright is his delight.
9 The way of a wicked man is an abomination to LORD, but he loves him who follows after righteousness.
10 There is grievous correction for him who forsakes the way. He who hates reproof shall die.
11 Sheol and Abaddon are before LORD. How much more then the hearts of the sons of men!
12 A scoffer does not like to be reproved. He will not go to the wise.
13 A glad heart makes a cheerful countenance, but by sorrow of heart the spirit is broken.
14 The heart of him who has understanding seeks knowledge, but the mouth of fools feeds on folly.
15 All the days of the afflicted are evil, but he who is of a cheerful heart [has] a continual feast.
16 Better is little with the fear of LORD, than great treasure and trouble with it.
17 Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a fatted ox and hatred with it.
18 A wrathful man stirs up contention, but he who is slow to anger appeases strife.
19 The way of the sluggard is as a hedge of thorns, but the path of the upright is made a highway.
