Proverbs 15:4-6

⁴A pleasant tongue is the tree of life; but the tongue that is unmeasurable or untempered, shall defoul the spirit.

⁵A fool scorneth the teaching of his father; but he that keepeth blamings, shall be made wiser. Most virtue shall be in plenteous rightfulness or rightwiseness; but the thoughts of wicked men shall be drawn up by the root.

⁶The house of a just or rightwise man is full great strength; and troubling is in the fruits of a wicked man.
