Proverbs 15
1 A gentle answer turns away wrath, 1 but a harsh word stirs up anger.
2 The tongue of the wise commends knowledge, 2 but the mouth of the fool gushes folly.
3 The eyes of the Lord are everywhere, 3 keeping watch on the wicked and the good.
4 The tongue that brings healing is a tree of life, 4 but a deceitful tongue crushes the spirit.
5 A fool spurns his father's discipline, 5 but whoever heeds correction shows prudence.
