Proverbs 15:3-4, 6, 9-10, 14, 16, 27, 29, 33

The eyes of the LORD are everywhere, keeping watch on the wicked and the good. The soothing tongue is a tree of life, but a perverse tongue crushes the spirit.

The house of the righteous contains great treasure, but the income of the wicked brings ruin.

The LORD detests the way of the wicked, but he loves those who pursue righteousness. Stern discipline awaits anyone who leaves the path; the one who hates correction will die.

The discerning heart seeks knowledge, but the mouth of a fool feeds on folly.

Better a little with the fear of the LORD than great wealth with turmoil.

The greedy bring ruin to their households, but the one who hates bribes will live.

The LORD is far from the wicked, but he hears the prayer of the righteous.

Wisdom’s instruction is to fear the LORD, and humility comes before honor.
