Proverbs 15:5-7

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁵ A fool laugheth at the instruction of his father: but he that regardeth reproofs shall become prudent. In abundant justice there is the greatest strength: but the devices of the wicked shall be rooted out.

⁶ The house of the just is very much strength: and in the fruits of the wicked is trouble.

⁷ The lips of the wise shall disperse knowledge: the heart of fools shall be unlike.
