Proverbs 15:12-14

Young's Literal Translation

¹²A scorner loveth not his reprover, Unto the wise he goeth not.

¹³A joyful heart maketh glad the face, And by grief of heart is the spirit smitten.

¹⁴The heart of the intelligent seeketh knowledge, And the mouth of fools enjoyeth folly.

Proverbs 15:12-14

so they avoid the wise.

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

¹⁴The discerning heart seeks knowledge,^(D)
but the mouth of a fool feeds on folly.
