Proverbs 15:10-21
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 15
10
There is severe punishment for one who abandons the way;
One who hates a rebuke will die.
11
Sheol and Abaddon
lie open
before the
Lord
,
How much more the hearts of mankind!
12
A scoffer does not love one who rebukes him;
He will not go to the wise.
13
A joyful heart makes a cheerful face,
But when the heart is sad, the spirit is broken.
14
The mind of the intelligent seeks knowledge,
But the mouth of fools feeds on foolishness.
15
All the days of the needy are bad,
But a cheerful heart
has
a continual feast.
16
Better is a little with the fear of the
Lord
Than great treasure, and turmoil with the treasure.
17
Better is a portion of vegetables where there is love,
Than a fattened ox
served
with hatred.
18
A hot-tempered person stirs up strife,
But the slow to anger calms a dispute.
19
The way of the lazy one is like a hedge of thorns,
But the path of the upright is a highway.
20
A wise son makes a father glad,
But a foolish man despises his mother.
21
Foolishness is joy to one who lacks sense,
But a person of understanding walks straight.
King James Version
Chapter 15
10
Correction is grievous unto him that forsaketh the way: and he that hateth reproof shall die.
11
Hell and destruction are before the
Lord
: how much more then the hearts of the children of men?
12
A scorner loveth not one that reproveth him: neither will he go unto the wise.
13
A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance: but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.
14
The heart of him that hath understanding seeketh knowledge: but the mouth of fools feedeth on foolishness.
15
All the days of the afflicted are evil: but he that is of a merry heart hath a continual feast.
16
Better is little with the fear of the
Lord
than great treasure and trouble therewith.
17
Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred therewith.
18
A wrathful man stirreth up strife: but he that is slow to anger appeaseth strife.
19
The way of the slothful man is as an hedge of thorns: but the way of the righteous is made plain.
20
A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish man despiseth his mother.
21
Folly is joy to him that is destitute of wisdom: but a man of understanding walketh uprightly.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 15
10
Discipline is harsh for the one who leaves the path;
the one who hates correction will die.
11
Sheol and Abaddon lie open before the
Lord
—
how much more, human hearts.
12
A mocker doesn’t love one who corrects him;
he will not consult the wise.
13
A joyful heart makes a face cheerful,
but a sad heart produces a broken spirit.
14
A discerning mind seeks knowledge,
but the mouth of fools feeds on foolishness.
15
All the days of the oppressed are miserable,
but a cheerful heart has a continual feast.
16
Better a little with the fear of the
Lord
than great treasure with turmoil.
17
Better a meal of vegetables where there is love
than a fattened ox with hatred.
18
A hot-tempered person stirs up conflict,
but one slow to anger calms strife.
19
A slacker’s way is like a thorny hedge,
but the path of the upright is a highway.
20
A wise son brings joy to his father,
but a foolish man despises his mother.
21
Foolishness brings joy to one without sense,
but a person with understanding walks a straight path.
New Living Translation
Chapter 15
10
Whoever abandons the right path will be severely disciplined;
whoever hates correction will die.
11
Even Death and Destruction hold no secrets from the
Lord
.
How much more does he know the human heart!
12
Mockers hate to be corrected,
so they stay away from the wise.
13
A glad heart makes a happy face;
a broken heart crushes the spirit.
14
A wise person is hungry for knowledge,
while the fool feeds on trash.
15
For the despondent, every day brings trouble;
for the happy heart, life is a continual feast.
16
Better to have little, with fear for the
Lord
,
than to have great treasure and inner turmoil.
17
A bowl of vegetables with someone you love
is better than steak with someone you hate.
18
A hot-tempered person starts fights;
a cool-tempered person stops them.
19
A lazy person’s way is blocked with briers,
but the path of the upright is an open highway.
20
Sensible children bring joy to their father;
foolish children despise their mother.
21
Foolishness brings joy to those with no sense;
a sensible person stays on the right path.

10
Harsh discipline
is
for him who forsakes the way,
And
he who hates correction will die.
11
Hell and Destruction
are
before the
Lord
;
So how much more the hearts of the sons of men.

A scoffer does not love one who corrects him,
Nor will he go to the wise.
13
A merry heart makes a cheerful countenance,
But by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.
14
The heart of him who has understanding seeks knowledge,
But the mouth of fools feeds on foolishness.
15
All the days of the afflicted
are
evil,
But he who is of a merry heart
has
a continual feast.
16
Better
is
a little with the fear of the
Lord
,
Than great treasure with trouble.
17
Better
is
a dinner of herbs where love is,
Than a fatted calf with hatred.
18
A wrathful man stirs up strife,
But
he who is
slow to anger allays contention.
19
The way of the lazy
man is
like a hedge of thorns,
But the way of the upright
is
a highway.
20
A wise son makes a father glad,
But a foolish man despises his mother.
21
Folly
is
joy
to him who is
destitute of discernment,
But a man of understanding walks uprightly.
