Proverbs 15:11

God's power and sovereigntyGod's presence

9 The LORD detests the way of the wicked, but He loves those who pursue righteousness.

10 Discipline is harsh for him who leaves the path; he who hates correction will die.

Sheol and Abaddon lie open before the LORD— how much more the hearts of men!

12 A mocker does not love to be reproved, nor will he consult the wise.

13 A joyful heart makes a cheerful countenance, but sorrow of the heart crushes the spirit.
