A Soft Answer Turns Away Wrath

15A soft answer turns away wrath, But a harsh word stirs up anger.H7390H4617H7725H2534H6089H1697H5927H639 2The tongue of the wise uses knowledge rightly, But the mouth of fools pours forth foolishness.H3956H2450H1847H3190H6310H3684H5042H200 3The eyes of the LORD are in every place, Keeping watch on the evil and the good.H5869H3068H4725H6822H7451H2896 4A wholesome tongue is a tree of life, But perverseness in it breaks the spirit.H4832H3956H6086H2416H5558H7667H7307 5A fool despises his father's instruction, But he who receives correction is prudent.H191H5006H1H4148H8104H8433H6191 6In the house of the righteous there is much treasure, But in the revenue of the wicked is trouble.H1004H6662H7227H2633H8393H7563H5916 7The lips of the wise disperse knowledge, But the heart of the fool does not do so.H8193H2450H2219H1847H3820H3684 8The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD, But the prayer of the upright is His delight.H2077H7563H8441H3068H8605H3477H7522 9The way of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD, But He loves him who follows righteousness.H1870H7563H8441H3068H157H7291H6666 10Harsh discipline is for him who forsakes the way, And he who hates correction will die.H4148H7451H5800H734H8130H8433H4191 11Hell and Destruction are before the LORD; So how much more the hearts of the sons of men.H7585H11H3068H3826H1121H120 12A scoffer does not love one who corrects him, Nor will he go to the wise.H3887H157H3198H3212H2450 13A merry heart makes a cheerful countenance, But by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.H8056H3820H3190H6440H6094H3820H7307H5218 14The heart of him who has understanding seeks knowledge, But the mouth of fools feeds on foolishness.H3820H995H1245H1847H6310H6440H3684H7462H200 15All the days of the afflicted are evil, But he who is of a merry heart has a continual feast.H3117H6041H7451H2896H3820H8548H4960 16Better is a little with the fear of the LORD, Than great treasure with trouble.H2896H4592H3374H3068H7227H214H4103 17Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, Than a fatted calf with hatred.H2896H737H3419H160H75H7794H8135 18A wrathful man stirs up strife, But he who is slow to anger allays contention.H2534H376H1624H4066H750H639H8252H7379 19The way of the lazy man is like a hedge of thorns, But the way of the upright is a highway.H1870H6102H4881H2312H734H3477H5549 20A wise son makes a father glad, But a foolish man despises his mother.H2450H1121H8055H1H3684H120H959H517 21Folly is joy to him who is destitute of discernment, But a man of understanding walks uprightly.H200H8057H2638H3820H376H8394H3212H3474 22Without counsel, plans go awry, But in the multitude of counselors they are established.H5475H4284H6565H7230H3289H6965 23A man has joy by the answer of his mouth, And a word spoken in due season, how good it is!H376H8057H4617H6310H1697H6256H2896 24The way of life winds upward for the wise, That he may turn away from hell below.H734H2416H4605H7919H5493H7585H4295 25The LORD will destroy the house of the proud, But He will establish the boundary of the widow.H3068H5255H1004H1343H5324H1366H490 26The thoughts of the wicked are an abomination to the LORD, But the words of the pure are pleasant.H4284H7451H8441H3068H2889H5278H561 27He who is greedy for gain troubles his own house, But he who hates bribes will live.H1214H1215H5916H1004H8130H4979H2421 28The heart of the righteous studies how to answer, But the mouth of the wicked pours forth evil.H3820H6662H1897H6030H6310H7563H5042H7451 29The LORD is far from the wicked, But He hears the prayer of the righteous.H3068H7350H7563H8085H8605H6662 30The light of the eyes rejoices the heart, And a good report makes the bones healthy.H3974H5869H8055H3820H2896H8052H1878H6106H1878 31The ear that hears the rebukes of life Will abide among the wise.H241H8085H8433H2416H3885H7130H2450 32He who disdains instruction despises his own soul, But he who heeds rebuke gets understanding.H6544H4148H3988H5315H8085H8433H7069H3820 33The fear of the LORD is the instruction of wisdom, And before honor is humility.H3374H3068H4148H2451H6440H3519H6038
