Proverbs:15

* A soft answer turns away wrath ; But a grievous word stirs up anger . * The tongue of the wise utters knowledge aright ; But the mouth of fools gushes out folly . * The eyes of Yahweh are in every place , Keeping watch on 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 the righteous is much treasure ; But in the revenues of the wicked is trouble . * The lips of the wise disperse knowledge ; But the heart of the foolish is not so . * The sacrifice of the wicked is disgusting to Yahweh ; But the prayer of the upright is his delight . * The way of the wicked is disgusting to Yahweh ; But he loves him who follows after righteousness . * There is grievous correction for him who forsakes the way ; [And ] he who hates reproof will die . * Sheol and Abaddon are before Yahweh : How much more then the hearts of the sons of man ! * A scoffer does not love 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 Yahweh , Than great treasure and trouble with it . * Better is a dinner of herbs , where there is love , Than a stalled 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 straight his going . * Where there is no counsel , purposes 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 the way of life [goes ] upward , That he may depart from Sheol beneath . * Yahweh will root up the house of the proud ; But he will establish the border of the widow . * Evil devices are disgusting to Yahweh ; But pleasant words [are ] pure . * He who is greedy of gain troubles his own house ; But he who hates bribes will live . * The heart of the righteous studies to answer ; But the mouth of the wicked gushes out evil things . * Yahweh is far from the wicked ; But he hears the prayer of the righteous . * The light of the eyes rejoices the heart ; [And ] good news make the bones fat . * The ear that harkens to the reproof of life Will reside among the wise . * He who refuses correction despises his own soul ; But he who harkens to reproof gets understanding . * The fear of Yahweh is the instruction of wisdom ; And before honor [goes ] humility .
