## Proverbs 15:10-12 in Context (Verses 7–15 KJV)
 
 [7 ](/kjv/proverbs/15/7) The lips of the wise disperse knowledge: but the heart of the foolish *doeth* not so.
 
 [8 ](/kjv/proverbs/15/8) The sacrifice of the wicked *is* an abomination to the LORD: but the prayer of the upright *is* his delight.
 
 [9 ](/kjv/proverbs/15/9) The way of the wicked *is* an abomination unto the LORD: but he loveth him that followeth after righteousness.
 
 [10 ](/kjv/proverbs/15/10) Correction *is* grievous unto him that forsaketh the way: *and* he that hateth reproof shall die.*
 
 [11 ](/kjv/proverbs/15/11) Hell and destruction *are* before the LORD: how much more then the hearts of the children of men?
 
 [12 ](/kjv/proverbs/15/12) A scorner loveth not one that reproveth him: neither will he go unto the wise.
 
 [13 ](/kjv/proverbs/15/13) A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance: but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.
 
 [14 ](/kjv/proverbs/15/14) The heart of him that hath understanding seeketh knowledge: but the mouth of fools feedeth on foolishness.
 
 [15 ](/kjv/proverbs/15/15) All the days of the afflicted *are* evil: but he that is of a merry heart *hath* a continual feast.
