Book 20 Proverbs Chapter 015

 

015:001A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up
anger.

 

015:002The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright: but the mouth
of fools poureth out foolishness.

 

015:003The eyes of the LORD are in every place, beholding the evil
and the good.

 

015:004A wholesome tongue is a tree of life: but perverseness therein
is a breach in the spirit.

 

015:005A fool despiseth his father's instruction: but he that
regardeth reproof is prudent.

 

015:006In the house of the righteous is much treasure: but in the
revenues of the wicked is trouble.

 

015:007The lips of the wise disperse knowledge: but the heart of the
foolish doeth not so.

 

015:008The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD: but
the prayer of the upright is his delight.

 

015:009The way of the wicked is an abomination unto the LORD: but he
loveth him that followeth after righteousness.

 

015:010Correction is grievous unto him that forsaketh the way: and he
that hateth reproof shall die.

 

015:011Hell and destruction are before the LORD: how much more then
the hearts of the children of men?

 

015:012A scorner loveth not one that reproveth him: neither will he
go unto the wise.

 

015:013A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance: but by sorrow of
the heart the spirit is broken.

 

015:014The heart of him that hath understanding seeketh knowledge:
but the mouth of fools feedeth on foolishness.

 

015:015All the days of the afflicted are evil: but he that is of a
merry heart hath a continual feast.

 

015:016Better is little with the fear of the LORD than great treasure
and trouble therewith.

 

015:017Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox
and hatred therewith.

 

015:018A wrathful man stirreth up strife: but he that is slow to
anger appeaseth strife.

 

015:019The way of the slothful man is as an hedge of thorns: but the
way of the righteous is made plain.

 

015:020A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish man despiseth
his mother.

 

015:021Folly is joy to him that is destitute of wisdom: but a man of
understanding walketh uprightly.

 

015:022Without counsel purposes are disappointed: but in the
multitude of counsellors they are established.

 

015:023A man hath joy by the answer of his mouth: and a word spoken
in due season, how good is it!

 

015:024The way of life is above to the wise, that he may depart from
hell beneath.

 

015:025The LORD will destroy the house of the proud: but he will
establish the border of the widow.

 

015:026The thoughts of the wicked are an abomination to the LORD: but
the words of the pure are pleasant words.

 

015:027He that is greedy of gain troubleth his own house; but he that
hateth gifts shall live.

 

015:028The heart of the righteous studieth to answer: but the mouth
of the wicked poureth out evil things.

 

015:029The LORD is far from the wicked: but he heareth the prayer of
the righteous.

 

015:030The light of the eyes rejoiceth the heart: and a good report
maketh the bones fat.

 

015:031The ear that heareth the reproof of life abideth among the
wise.

 

015:032He that refuseth instruction despiseth his own soul: but he
that heareth reproof getteth understanding.

 

015:033The fear of the LORD is the instruction of wisdom; and before
honour is humility.
