Proverbs 15:11-13
Lexham English Bible

11 Sheol[a] and Abaddon[b] are before Yahweh,
    how much more[c] the hearts of the children of men!
12 A scoffer does not like his rebuke;[d]
    to the wise he will not go.
13 A heart[e] of gladness will make good countenance,[f]
    but in sorrow of heart[g] a spirit is broken.
