Proverbs 15:5
King James Version
“A fool despiseth his father’s instruction: but he that regardeth reproof is prudent.”
Context
2The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright: but the mouth of fools poureth out foolishness.
3The eyes of the LORD in every place, beholding the evil and the good.
4A wholesome tongue a tree of life: but perverseness therein a breach in the spirit.
5A fool despiseth his father’s instruction: but he that regardeth reproof is prudent.
6In the house of the righteous much treasure: but in the revenues of the wicked is trouble.
7The lips of the wise disperse knowledge: but the heart of the foolish not so.
8The sacrifice of the wicked an abomination to the LORD: but the prayer of the upright his delight.
