Proverbs 15:1-6

¹By a soft answer wrath is turned away, but a bitter word is a cause of angry feelings.

²Knowledge is dropping from the tongue of the wise; but from the mouth of the foolish comes a stream of foolish words.

³The eyes of the Lord are in every place, keeping watch on the evil and the good.

⁴A comforting tongue is a tree of life, but a twisted tongue is a crushing of the spirit.

⁵A foolish man puts no value on his father's training; but he who has respect for teaching has good sense.

⁶In the house of the upright man there is a great store of wealth; but in the profits of the sinner there is trouble.
