Proverbs 15:12-14

Amplified Bible

¹²
A scoffer [unlike a wise man] resents one who rebukes him and tries to teach him;
Nor will he go to the wise [for counsel and instruction].
¹³
A heart full of joy and goodness makes a cheerful face,
But when a heart is full of sadness the spirit is crushed.^(A)
¹⁴
The mind of the intelligent and discerning seeks knowledge and eagerly inquires after it,
But the mouth of the [stubborn] fool feeds on foolishness.^(B)
