A Soft Answer Turns Away Wrath
|
|
|
|
# Chapter 15
|
|
1. A soft answer turns away wrath,
|
|
But a harsh word stirs up anger.
|
|
|
|
2. The tongue of the wise uses knowledge rightly,
|
|
But the mouth of fools pours forth foolishness.
|
|
|
|
3. The eyes of the Lord are in every place,
|
|
Keeping watch on the evil and the good.
|
|
|
|
4. A wholesome tongue is a tree of life,
|
|
But perverseness in it breaks the spirit.
|
|
|
|
5. A fool despises his father's instruction,
|
|
But he who receives correction is prudent.
|
|
|
|
6. In the house of the righteous there is much treasure,
|
|
But in the revenue of the wicked is trouble.
|
|
|
|
7. The lips of the wise disperse knowledge,
|
|
But the heart of the fool does not do so.
|
|
|
|
8. The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord,
|
|
But the prayer of the upright is His delight.
|
|
|
|
9. The way of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord,
|
|
But He loves him who follows righteousness.
|
|
|
|
10. Harsh discipline is for him who forsakes the way,
|
|
And he who hates correction will die.
|
|
|
|
11. Hell and Destruction are before the Lord;
|
|
So how much more the hearts of the sons of men.
|
|
|
|
12. A scoffer does not love one who corrects him,
|
|
Nor will he go to the wise.
|
|
|
|
13. A merry heart makes a cheerful countenance,
|
|
But by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.
|
|
|
|
14. The heart of him who has understanding seeks knowledge,
|
|
But the mouth of fools feeds on foolishness.
|
|
|
|
15. All the days of the afflicted are evil,
|
|
But he who is of a merry heart has a continual feast.
|
|
|
|
16. Better is a little with the fear of the Lord,
|
|
Than great treasure with trouble.
|
|
|
|
17. Better is a dinner of herbs where love is,
|
|
Than a fatted calf with hatred.
|
|
|
|
18. A wrathful man stirs up strife,
|
|
But he who is slow to anger allays contention.
|
|
|
|
19. The way of the lazy man is like a hedge of thorns,
|
|
But the way of the upright is a highway.
|
|
|
|
20. A wise son makes a father glad,
|
|
But a foolish man despises his mother.
|
|
|
|
21. Folly is joy to him who is destitute of discernment,
|
|
But a man of understanding walks uprightly.
|
|
|
|
22. Without counsel, plans go awry,
|
|
But in the multitude of counselors they are established.
|
|
|
|
23. A man has joy by the answer of his mouth,
|
|
And a word spoken in due season, how good it is!
|
|
|
|
24. The way of life winds upward for the wise,
|
|
That he may turn away from hell below.
|
|
|
|
25. The Lord will destroy the house of the proud,
|
|
But He will establish the boundary of the widow.
|
|
|
|
26. The thoughts of the wicked are an abomination to the Lord,
|
|
But the words of the pure are pleasant.
|
|
|
|
27. He who is greedy for gain troubles his own house,
|
|
But he who hates bribes will live.
|
|
|
|
28. The heart of the righteous studies how to answer,
|
|
But the mouth of the wicked pours forth evil.
|
|
|
|
29. The Lord is far from the wicked,
|
|
But He hears the prayer of the righteous.
|
|
|
|
30. The light of the eyes rejoices the heart,
|
|
And a good report makes the bones healthy.
|
|
|
|
31. The ear that hears the rebukes of life
|
|
Will abide among the wise.
|
|
|
|
32. He who disdains instruction despises his own soul,
|
|
But he who heeds rebuke gets understanding.
|
|
|
|
33. The fear of the Lord is the instruction of wisdom,
|
|
And before honor is humility.
