Proverbs 15:1-10
A gentle answer turns anger away.
But mean words stir up anger.
The tongues of wise people use knowledge well.
But the mouths of foolish people pour out foolish words.
The eyes of the Lord are everywhere.
They watch those who are evil and those who are good.
A tongue that calms is like a tree of life.
But a tongue that tells lies produces a broken spirit.
A foolish person turns their back on their parent’s correction.
But anyone who accepts correction shows understanding.
The houses of those who do what is right hold great wealth.
But those who do what is wrong earn only ruin.
The lips of wise people spread knowledge.
But the hearts of foolish people are not honest.
The Lord hates the sacrifice of sinful people.
But the prayers of honest people please him.
The Lord hates how sinners live.
But he loves those who run after what is right.
Hard training is in store for anyone who leaves the right path.
A person who hates to be corrected will die.
