Proverbs 15:7-9

EasyEnglish Bible

⁷ When wise people speak, they give knowledge,
    but the minds of fools have nothing to give.
⁸ When wicked people offer sacrifices to the Lord, he hates it.
    But he is pleased when good people pray to him.
⁹ The Lord hates the way that wicked people live.
    But he loves people who want to do what is right.
