Proverbs 15:12-14

Modern English Version

¹² A scorner does not love one who reproves 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.
