1A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.
2The tongue of the wise commends knowledge, but the mouths of fools gush out folly.
3Yahweh’s eyes are everywhere, keeping watch on the evil and the good.
4A gentle tongue is a tree of life, but deceit in it crushes the spirit.
5A fool despises his father’s correction, but he who heeds reproof shows prudence.
6In the house of the righteous is much treasure, but the income of the wicked brings trouble.
7The lips of the wise spread knowledge; not so with the heart of fools.
8The sacrifice made by the wicked is an abomination to Yahweh, but the prayer of the upright is his delight.
9The way of the wicked is an abomination to Yahweh, but he loves him who follows after righteousness.
10There is stern discipline for one who forsakes the way. Whoever hates reproof shall die.
11Sheol and Abaddon are before Yahweh— how much more then the hearts of the children of men!
12A scoffer doesn’t love to be reproved; he will not go to the wise.
13A glad heart makes a cheerful face, but an aching heart breaks the spirit.
14The heart of one who has understanding seeks knowledge, but the mouths of fools feed on folly.
