Proverbs - Chapter 15

minutes - words.

1A soft answer turneth away wrath; But a grievous word stirreth up anger. 2The tongue of the wise uttereth knowledge aright; But the mouth of fools poureth out folly. 3The eyes of Jehovah are in every place, Keeping watch upon the evil and the good. 4A gentle tongue is a tree of life; But perverseness therein is a breaking of the spirit. 5A fool despiseth his father's correction; But he that regardeth reproof getteth prudence. 6In the house of the righteous is much treasure; But in the revenues of the wicked is trouble. 7The lips of the wise disperse knowledge; But the heart of the foolish `doeth' not so. 8The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to Jehovah; But the prayer of the upright is his delight. 9The way of the wicked is an abomination to Jehovah; But he loveth him that followeth after righteousness. 10There is grievous correction for him that forsaketh the way; `And' he that hateth reproof shall die. 11Sheol and Abaddon are before Jehovah: How much more then the hearts of the children of men! 12A scoffer loveth not to be reproved; He will not go unto the wise. 13A glad heart maketh a cheerful countenance; But by sorrow of heart the spirit is broken. 14The heart of him that hath understanding seeketh knowledge; But the mouth of fools feedeth on folly. 15All the days of the afflicted are evil; But he that is of a cheerful heart `hath' a continual feast. 16Better is little, with the fear of Jehovah, Than great treasure and trouble therewith. 17Better is a dinner of herbs, where love is, Than a stalled ox and hatred therewith. 18A wrathful man stirreth up contention; But he that is slow to anger appeaseth strife. 19The way of the sluggard is as a hedge of thorns; But the path of the upright is made a highway. 20A wise son maketh a glad father; But a foolish man despiseth his mother. 21Folly is joy to him that is void of wisdom; But a man of understanding maketh straight his going. 22Where there is no counsel, purposes are disappointed; But in the multitude of counsellors they are established. 23A man hath joy in the answer of his mouth; And a word in due season, how good is it! 24To the wise the way of life `goeth' upward, That he may depart from Sheol beneath. 25Jehovah will root up the house of the proud; But he will establish the border of the widow. 26Evil devices are an abomination to Jehovah; But pleasant words `are' pure. 27He that is greedy of gain troubleth his own house; But he that hateth bribes shall live. 28The heart of the righteous studieth to answer; But the mouth of the wicked poureth out evil things. 29Jehovah is far from the wicked; But he heareth the prayer of the righteous. 30The light of the eyes rejoiceth the heart; `And' good tidings make the bones fat. 31The ear that hearkeneth to the reproof of life Shall abide among the wise. 32He that refuseth correction despiseth his own soul; But he that hearkeneth to reproof getteth understanding. 33The fear of Jehovah is the instruction of wisdom; And before honor `goeth' humility.
