Proverbs 15:8-11, 24-33

⁸The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord,
but the prayer of the upright is his delight.
⁹The way of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord,
but he loves the one who pursues righteousness.
¹⁰There is severe discipline for one who forsakes the way,
but one who hates a rebuke will die.
¹¹Sheol and Abaddon lie open before the Lord,
how much more human hearts!
²⁴For the wise the path of life leads upward,
in order to avoid Sheol below.
²⁵The Lord tears down the house of the proud,
but maintains the widow’s boundaries.
²⁶Evil plans are an abomination to the Lord,
but gracious words are pure.
²⁷Those who are greedy for unjust gain make trouble for their households,
but those who hate bribes will live.
²⁸The mind of the righteous ponders how to answer,
but the mouth of the wicked pours out evil.
²⁹The Lord is far from the wicked,
but he hears the prayer of the righteous.
³⁰The light of the eyes rejoices the heart,
and good news refreshes the body.
³¹The ear that heeds wholesome admonition
will lodge among the wise.
³²Those who ignore instruction despise themselves,
but those who heed admonition gain understanding.
³³The fear of the Lord is instruction in wisdom,
and humility goes before honor.
