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.
Proverbs 15:12-14

12 Mockers resent correction,(A)
so they avoid the wise.
14 The discerning heart seeks knowledge,(D)
but the mouth of a fool feeds on folly.
