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