Proverbs 15:4-7

⁴The wholesome tongue is a tree of life, And he that keeps it shall be filled with understanding.

⁵A fool scorns his father’s instruction: But he that keeps his commandments is more prudent. In abounding righteousness is great strength: But the ungodly shall utterly perish from the earth.

⁶In the houses of the righteous is much strength: But the fruits of the ungodly shall perish.

⁷The lips of the wise are bound by discretion: But the hearts of the foolish are not safe.
