Proverbs 15:5-7
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
5 The fool spurns a father’s instruction,
but whoever heeds reproof is prudent.[a](A)
6 In the house of the just there are ample resources,
but the harvest of the wicked is in peril.
7 The lips of the wise spread knowledge,
but the heart of fools is not steadfast.[b]
Footnotes
- 15:5 One becomes wise by keeping and foolish by rejecting. One must accept the tradition of the community.
- 15:7 “Lips” and “heart” are a fixed pair, in Proverbs signifying, respectively, expression and source. The wise disseminate what they have in their heart, but the wicked are unsound even in the source of their words, their hearts.
