Proverbs 15:12-14

New International Reader's Version

¹² People who make fun of others don’t like to be corrected.
    So they stay away from wise people.

¹³ A happy heart makes a face look cheerful.
    But a sad heart produces a broken spirit.

¹⁴ A heart that understands what is right looks for knowledge.
    But the mouths of foolish people feed on what is foolish.
