Proverbs 15
A mild answer breaketh wrath: but a harsh word stirreth
up fury.
The tongue of the wise adorneth knowledge: but the mouth
of fools bubbleth out folly.
The eyes of the Lord in every place behold the good
and the evil.
A peaceable tongue is a tree of life: but that which
is immoderate, shall crush the spirit.
A fool laugheth at the instruction of his father: but
he that regardeth reproofs shall become prudent. In
abundant justice there is the greatest strength: but
the devices of the wicked shall be rooted out.
The house of the just is very much strength: and in
the fruits of the wicked is trouble.
The lips of the wise shall disperse knowledge: the heart
of fools shall be unlike.
The victims of the wicked are abominable to the Lord:
the vows of the just are acceptable.
The way of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord:
he that followeth justice is beloved by him.
Instruction is grievous to him that forsaketh the way
of life: he that hateth reproof shall die.
Hell and destruction are before the Lord: how much more
the hearts of the children of men?
A corrupt man loveth not one that reproveth him: nor
will he go to the wise.
A glad heart maketh a cheerful countenance: but by grief
of mind the spirit is cast down.
The heart of the wise seeketh instruction: and the mouth
of fools feedeth on foolishness.
All the days of the poor are evil: a secure mind is
like a continual feast.
Better is a little with the fear of the Lord, than great
treasures without content,
It is better to be invited to herbs with love, than
to a fatted calf with hatred.
A passionate man stirreth up strifes: he that is patient
appeaseth those that are stirred up.
The way of the slothful is as a hedge of thorns; the
way of the just is without offence.
A wise son maketh a father joyful: but the foolish man
despiseth his mother.
Folly is joy to the fool: and the wise man maketh straight
his steps.
Designs are brought to nothing where there is no counsel:
but where there are many counsellors, they are established.
A man rejoiceth in the sentence of his mouth: and a
word in due time is best.
The path of life is above for the wise, that he may
decline from the lowest hell.
The Lord will destroy the house of the proud: and will
strengthen the borders of the widow.
Evil thoughts are an abomination to the Lord: and pure
words most beautiful shall be confirmed by him.
He that is greedy of gain troubleth his own house: but
he that hateth bribes shall live. By mercy and faith
sins are purged away: and by the fear of the Lord every
one declineth from evil.
The mind of the just studieth obedience: the mouth of
the wicked over floweth with evils.
The Lord is far from the wicked: and he will hear the
prayers of the just.
The light of the eyes rejoiceth the soul: a good name
maketh the bones fat.
The ear that heareth the reproofs of life, shall abide
in the midst of the wise.
He that rejecteth instruction, despiseth his own soul:
but he that yieldeth to reproof possesseth understanding.
The fear of the Lord is the lesson of wisdom: and humility
goeth before glory.
