Proverbs 15:1-17

Proverbs 1:15-17 - A soft answer turneth away wrath:
But grievous words stir up anger.
The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright:
But the mouth of fools poureth out foolishness.
The eyes of the LORD are in every place,
Beholding the evil and the good.
A wholesome tongue is a tree of life:
But perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit.
A fool despiseth his father's instruction:
But he that regardeth reproof is prudent.
In the house of the righteous is much treasure:
But in the revenues of the wicked is trouble.
The lips of the wise disperse knowledge:
But the heart of the foolish doeth not so.
The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD:
But the prayer of the upright is his delight.
The way of the wicked is an abomination unto the LORD:
But he loveth him that followeth after righteousness.
Correction is grievous unto him that forsaketh the way:
And he that hateth reproof shall die.
Hell and destruction are before the LORD:
How much more then the hearts of the children of men?
A scorner loveth not one that reproveth him:
Neither will he go unto the wise.
A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance:
But by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.
The heart of him that hath understanding seeketh knowledge:
But the mouth of fools feedeth on foolishness.
All the days of the afflicted are evil:
But he that is of a merry heart hath a continual feast.
Better is little with the fear of the LORD
Than great treasure and trouble therewith.
Better is a dinner of herbs where love is,
Than a stalled ox and hatred therewith.
