Proverbs 15:5-7
International Standard Version
5 A fool rejects his father’s instructions,
but anyone who respects[a] reproof acts sensibly.
6 The righteous house is itself[b] a great treasure,
but within the revenue of the wicked calamity is at work.
7 What the wise have to say disseminates[c] knowledge,
but it’s not in the heart of fools to do so.
