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 wise servant. His anger is against the one who causes shame.
1 A mild answer turns away anger. Harsh words stir up anger.
2 The tongue of the wise uses knowledge properly. The mouth of fools pours out foolishness.
3 The eyes of Jehovah are in everywhere watching the evil and the good.
4 A wholesome tongue is a tree of life, but perverseness in it destroys life.
5 A fool despises his father's instruction, but he who accepts discipline is prudent.
6 There is treasure in the house of the righteous. The earnings of the wicked bring trouble.
7 The lips of the wise disperse knowledge, the heart of the foolish does not.
8 The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to Jehovah! The prayer of the upright is his delight.
9 The way of the wicked is an abomination to Jehovah. He loves the one who follows after righteousness.
10 Correction is severe for the person who forsakes the way. He who hates reproof will die.
11 The grave and destruction are before (in front of) (in the presence of) Jehovah. How much more in the hearts of men?
12 A scoffer hates the one who reproves him. He will not go to the wise.
13 A merry heart makes a cheerful countenance. The spirit is broken by sorrow of the heart.
14 The heart of one with understanding seeks knowledge. The mouth of fools feeds on foolishness.
15 All the days of the afflicted are evil. He who has a merry heart has a continual feast.
16 It is better to have a little with respect for Jehovah than great treasure and trouble.
17 Better is a bowel of soup where there is love, than a steak with someone you hate.
18 An angry man stirs up strife. The slow to anger calms disputes.
19 The way of the lazy is as a hedge of thorns. But the way of the righteous is a wide path.
