Proverbs 15:4-7

Proverbs 15:4-7 NCV

As a tree gives fruit, healing words give life, but dishonest words crush the spirit. Fools reject their parents’ correction, but anyone who accepts correction is wise. Much wealth is in the houses of good people, but evil people get nothing but trouble. Wise people use their words to spread knowledge, but there is no knowledge in the thoughts of fools.
