The Message
Proverbs 15:5-7
The Message
5 Moral dropouts won’t listen to their elders;
welcoming correction is a mark of good sense.
6 The lives of God-loyal people flourish;
a misspent life is soon bankrupt.
7 Perceptive words spread knowledge;
fools are hollow—there’s nothing to them.
Proverbs 15:5-7
New International Version

6 The house of the righteous contains great treasure,(B)
but the income of the wicked brings ruin.(C)
7 The lips of the wise spread knowledge,(D)
but the hearts of fools are not upright.
