Proverbs 15:12 in Context — Proverbs 15

10 A correção é ruim para aquele que deixa o caminho; e quem odeia a repreensão morrerá.

11 O Xeol e a perdição estão perante o SENHOR; quanto mais os corações dos filhos dos homens!

12 O zombador não ama quem o repreende, nem se aproximará dos sábios.

13 O coração alegre anima o rosto, mas pela dor do coração o espírito se abate.

14 O coração prudente buscará o conhecimento, mas a boca dos tolos se alimentará de loucura.
