Proverbs 15:32

Verse 32 of 33. The 15th of 31 chapters in Proverbs, in Poetry and Wisdom.

28The heart of the righteous studieth to answer: but the mouth of the wicked poureth out evil things.

29The Lord is far from the wicked: but he heareth the prayer of the righteous.

30The light of the eyes rejoiceth the heart: and a good report maketh the bones fat.

31The ear that heareth the reproof of life abideth among the wise.

32He that refuseth instruction despiseth his own soul: but he that heareth reproof getteth understanding.

33The fear of the Lord is the instruction of wisdom; and before honour is humility.
