Proverbs 15:12 Context
10Correction is grieuous vnto him that forsaketh the way: and he that hateth reproofe, shall die. 11Hell and destruction are before the Lord: how much more then, the hearts of the children of men? 12A scorner loueth not one that reproueth him: neither will he goe vnto the wise. 13A merry heart maketh a cheerefull countenance: but by sorrow of the heart, the spirit is broken. 14The heart of him that hath vnderstanding, seeketh knowledge: but the mouth of fooles feedeth on foolishnesse.
