Proverbs 15:23-33

A man
<0376>

hath joy
<08057>

by the answer
<04617>

of his mouth
<06310>_:

and a word
<01697>

[spoken] in due season
<06256>_,

how good
<02896>

[is it]! {due...: Heb. his season}

The way
<0734>

of life
<02416>

[is] above
<04605>

to the wise
<07919> (8688)_,

that he may depart
<05493> (8800)

from hell
<07585>

beneath
<04295>_.

The LORD
<03068>

will destroy
<05255> (8799)

the house
<01004>

of the proud
<01343>_:

but he will establish
<05324> (8686)

the border
<01366>

of the widow
<0490>_.

The thoughts
<04284>

of the wicked
<07451>

[are] an abomination
<08441>

to the LORD
<03068>_:

but [the words] of the pure
<02889>

[are] pleasant
<05278>

words
<0561>_.

{pleasant...: Heb. words of pleasantness}

He that is greedy
<01214> (8802)

of gain
<01215>

troubleth
<05916> (8802)

his own house
<01004>_;

but he that hateth
<08130> (8802)

gifts
<04979>

shall live
<02421> (8799)_.

The heart
<03820>

of the righteous
<06662>

studieth
<01897> (8799)

to answer
<06030> (8800)_:

but the mouth
<06310>

of the wicked
<07563>

poureth
<05042> (8686)

out evil things
<07451>_.

The LORD
<03068>

[is] far
<07350>

from the wicked
<07563>_:

but he heareth
<08085> (8799)

the prayer
<08605>

of the righteous
<06662>_.

The light
<03974>

of the eyes
<05869>

rejoiceth
<08055> (8762)

the heart
<03820>_:

[and] a good
<02896>

report
<08052>

maketh
<01878> (0)

the bones
<06106>

fat
<01878> (8762)_.

The ear
<0241>

that heareth
<08085> (8802)

the reproof
<08433>

of life
<02416>

abideth
<03885> (8799)

among
<07130>

the wise
<02450>_.

He that refuseth
<06544> (8802)

instruction
<04148>

despiseth
<03988> (8802)

his own soul
<05315>_:

but he that heareth
<08085> (8802)

reproof
<08433>

getteth
<07069> (8802)

understanding
<03820>_.

{instruction: or, correction} {heareth: or, obeyeth} {getteth...: Heb. possesseth an heart}

The fear
<03374>

of the LORD
<03068>

[is] the instruction
<04148>

of wisdom
<02451>_;

and before
<06440>

honour
<03519>

[is] humility
<06038>_.
