Proverbs:15

* A soft answer turns away wrath , but a grievous word stirs up anger . * The tongue of the wise utters knowledge rightly , but the mouth of fools pours out folly . * The eyes of LORD are in every place , keeping watch upon the evil and the good . * A gentle tongue is a tree of life , but perverseness in it is a breaking of the spirit . * A fool despises his father 's correction , but he who regards reproof gets prudence . * In the house of a righteous man is much treasure , but in the revenues of a wicked man is trouble . * The lips of the wise disperse knowledge , but the heart of the foolish , not so . * The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to LORD , but the prayer of the upright is his delight . * The way of a wicked man is an abomination to LORD , but he loves him who follows after righteousness . * There is grievous correction for him who forsakes the way . He who hates reproof shall die . * Sheol and Abaddon are before LORD . How much more then the hearts of the sons of men ! * A scoffer does not like to be reproved . He will not go to the wise . * A glad heart makes a cheerful countenance , but by sorrow of heart the spirit is broken . * The heart of him who has understanding seeks knowledge , but the mouth of fools feeds on folly . * All the days of the afflicted are evil , but he who is of a cheerful heart [has ] a continual feast . * Better is little with the fear of LORD , than great treasure and trouble with it . * Better is a dinner of herbs where love is , than a fatted ox and hatred with it . * A wrathful man stirs up contention , but he who is slow to anger appeases strife . * The way of the sluggard is as a hedge of thorns , but the path of the upright is made a highway . * A wise son makes a glad father , but a foolish man despises his mother . * Folly is joy to him who is void of wisdom , but a man of understanding makes his going straight . * Where there is no counsel , plans are disappointed , but in the multitude of counselors they are established . * A man has joy in the answer of his mouth , and a word in due season , how good it is ! * To the wise man the way of life [is ] upward , that he may depart from Sheol beneath . * LORD will root up the house of the proud , but he will establish the border of the widow . * Evil devices are an abomination to LORD , but pleasant words [are ] pure . * He who is greedy of gain troubles his own house , but he who hates bribes shall live . * The heart of a righteous man meditates to answer , but the mouth of the wicked pours out evil things . * LORD is far from the wicked , but he hears the prayer of the righteous . * The light of the eyes rejoices the heart . Good news make the bones fat . * The ear that hearkens to the reproof of life shall abide among the wise . * He who refuses correction despises his own soul , but he who hearkens to reproof gets understanding . * The fear of LORD is the instruction of wisdom , and before honor [is ] humility .
