Proverbs 15:3–10
3 The eyes of the Lord are everywhere,
observing the wicked and the good.y
4 The tongue that heals is a tree of life,z
but a devious tongueC breaks the spirit.
5 A fool despises his father’s discipline,
but a person who accepts correction is sensible.aa
6 The house of the righteous has great wealth,
but trouble accompanies the income of the wicked.
7 The lips of the wise broadcast knowledge,
but not so the heart of fools.
8 The sacrifice of the wicked is detestable to the Lord,a
but the prayer of the upright is his delight.b
9 The Lord detests the way of the wicked,
but he loves the one who pursues righteousness.c
10 Discipline is harsh for the one who leaves the path;
the one who hates correction will die.
