“A soft answer turneth away wrath: But grievous words stir up anger.
The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright: But the mouth of fools poureth out foolishness.
The eyes of the LORD are in every place, Beholding the evil and the good.
A wholesome tongue is a tree of life: But perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit.
A fool despiseth his father’s instruction: But he that regardeth reproof is prudent.
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 doeth not 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 unto the LORD: But he loveth him that followeth after righteousness.
Correction is grievous unto him that forsaketh the way: And he that hateth reproof shall die.
Hell and destruction are before the LORD: How much more then the hearts of the children of men?”
Proverbs 15:1-11 KJV
