Proverbs 15:11-13

The Message

¹¹Even hell holds no secrets from God—
do you think he can’t read human hearts?

¹²Know-it-alls don’t like being told what to do;
they avoid the company of wise men and women.

¹³A cheerful heart brings a smile to your face;
a sad heart makes it hard to get through the day.

Proverbs 15:11-13

New International Version

¹¹Death and Destruction^[a] lie open before the Lord^(A)—
how much more do human hearts!^(B)

¹²Mockers resent correction,^(C)
so they avoid the wise.

¹³A happy heart makes the face cheerful,^(D)
but heartache crushes the spirit.^(E)
