Proverbs 15:6-8

International Children’s Bible

⁶There is much wealth in the houses of good people.
But evil people are paid only with trouble.

⁷With their words wise people spread knowledge.
But there is no knowledge in the thoughts of the foolish.

⁸The Lord hates the sacrifice that the wicked person offers.
But he is pleased with an honest person’s prayer.
