Proverbs of Solomon 15
1 A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.
2 The tongue of the wise adorns wisdom, but the mouth of fools pours out folly.
3 The eyes of the Lord are in every place, beholding the evil and the good.
4 A wholesome tongue is a tree of life, but perversity in it breaks the spirit.
5 A fool despises his father's instruction, but he who heeds reproof is prudent.
6 In the house of the righteous there is great treasure, but the fruit of the wicked is trouble.
7 The lips of the wise will pour out knowledge, but the heart of fools will not do so.
8 The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord, but the prayer of the upright is his delight.
9 The way of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord, but he loves those who pursue righteousness.
10 Discipline is grievous for him who forsakes the way, and he who hates reproof will die.
11 Hell and destruction are before the Lord: how much more the hearts of the children of men?
12 A scoffer does not love one who reproves him, nor will he approach the wise.
13 A cheerful heart makes a cheerful face, but heartache crushes the spirit.
14 An understanding heart seeks knowledge, but the mouth of fools feeds on folly.
15 All the days of the afflicted are evil, but a cheerful heart has a continual feast.
16 Better is a little with the fear of the Lord than great treasure and trouble therewith.
17 Better is a meal of herbs where love is than a fattened ox and hatred with it.
18 An angry man stirs up strife, but one who is slow to anger appeases strife.
19 The way of the lazy is like a thorn hedge, but the path of the upright is level.
20 A wise son makes a glad father, but a foolish man despises his mother.
21 Foolishness is joy to one who lacks understanding, but a man of understanding walks uprightly.
22 Where there is no counsel, plans come to nothing, but with many advisers they are established.
23 A man delights in the answer of his mouth, and a word spoken in due season, how good is it!
24 The path of life leads upward to the understanding, to keep him from hell below.
25 The Lord will tear down the house of the proud, but he will establish the inheritance of the widow.
26 The thoughts of the wicked are an abomination to the Lord, but the words of the pure are pleasant.
27 He who gives himself over to greed troubles his own house, but he who hates gifts will live.
28 The heart of the righteous ponders how to answer, but the mouth of the wicked pours out evil things in abundance.
29 The Lord is far from the wicked, but he will hear the prayer of the righteous.
30 The light of the eyes rejoices the heart; a good name makes the bones fat.
31 The ears that listen to the reproof of life will make their home among the wise.
32 He who refuses correction despises his own soul, but he who listens to reproof gains understanding.
33 The fear of the Lord is the instruction of wisdom, and before honor goes humility.
