Proverbs 15:7-9
Contemporary English Version

7 Words of wisdom
    make good sense;
the thoughts of a fool
    make no sense at all.

8 The Lord is disgusted
    by gifts from the wicked,
but it makes him happy
    when his people pray.
9 The Lord is disgusted
    with all who do wrong,
but he loves everyone
    who does right.
