1 A soft answer turneth away wrath:but grievous words stir up anger.
2 The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright:but the mouth of fools poureth out foolishness.
3 The eyes of the Lord are in every place,beholding the evil and the good.
4 A wholesome tongue is a tree of life:but perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit.
5 A fool despiseth his father's instruction:but he that regardeth reproof is prudent.
6 In the house of the righteous is much treasure:but in the revenues of the wicked is trouble.
