Proverbs

¹A soft answer turneth away wrath; But a grievous word stirreth up anger. ²The tongue of the wise uttereth knowledge aright; But the mouth of fools poureth out folly. ³The eyes of Jehovah are in every place, Keeping watch upon the evil and the good. ⁴A gentle tongue is a tree of life; But perverseness therein is a breaking of the spirit. ⁵A fool despiseth his father’s correction; But he that regardeth reproof getteth prudence. ⁶In the house of the righteous is much treasure; But in the revenues of the wicked is trouble.
