## Proverbs 15:18-33 in Context (Verses 15–33 KJV)
 
 [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.
 
 [16 ](/kjv/proverbs/15/16) Better *is* little with the fear of the LORD than great treasure and trouble therewith.
 
 [17 ](/kjv/proverbs/15/17) Better *is* a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred therewith.
 
 [18 ](/kjv/proverbs/15/18) A wrathful man stirreth up strife: but *he that is* slow to anger appeaseth strife.
 
 [19 ](/kjv/proverbs/15/19) The way of the slothful *man is* as an hedge of thorns: but the way of the righteous *is* made plain.*
 
 [20 ](/kjv/proverbs/15/20) A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish man despiseth his mother.
 
 [21 ](/kjv/proverbs/15/21) Folly *is* joy to *him that is* destitute of wisdom: but a man of understanding walketh uprightly.*
 
 [22 ](/kjv/proverbs/15/22) Without counsel purposes are disappointed: but in the multitude of counsellors they are established.
 
 [23 ](/kjv/proverbs/15/23) A man hath joy by the answer of his mouth: and a word *spoken* in due season, how good *is it*!*
 
 [24 ](/kjv/proverbs/15/24) The way of life *is* above to the wise, that he may depart from hell beneath.
 
 [25 ](/kjv/proverbs/15/25) The LORD will destroy the house of the proud: but he will establish the border of the widow.
 
 [26 ](/kjv/proverbs/15/26) The thoughts of the wicked *are* an abomination to the LORD: but *the words* of the pure *are* pleasant words.*
 
 [27 ](/kjv/proverbs/15/27) He that is greedy of gain troubleth his own house; but he that hateth gifts shall live.
 
 [28 ](/kjv/proverbs/15/28) The heart of the righteous studieth to answer: but the mouth of the wicked poureth out evil things.
 
 [29 ](/kjv/proverbs/15/29) The LORD *is* far from the wicked: but he heareth the prayer of the righteous.
 
 [30 ](/kjv/proverbs/15/30) The light of the eyes rejoiceth the heart: *and* a good report maketh the bones fat.
 
 [31 ](/kjv/proverbs/15/31) The ear that heareth the reproof of life abideth among the wise.
 
 [32 ](/kjv/proverbs/15/32) He that refuseth instruction despiseth his own soul: but he that heareth reproof getteth understanding.***
 
 [33 ](/kjv/proverbs/15/33) The fear of the LORD *is* the instruction of wisdom; and before honour *is* humility.
