Chapter 15
A
soft
answer
turneth
away
wrath:
but
grievous
words
stir
up
anger.
2
The
tongue
of
the
wise
useth
knowledge
aright:
but
the
mouth
of
fools
poureth
out
foolishness.
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
perverseness
therein
is
a
breach
in
the
spirit.
5
A
fool
despiseth
his
father’s
instruction:
but
he
that
regardeth
reproof
is
prudent.
6
In
the
house
of
the
righteous
is
much
treasure:
but
in
the
revenues
of
the
wicked
is
trouble.
7
The
lips
of
the
wise
disperse
knowledge:
but
the
heart
of
the
foolish
doeth
not
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
unto
the
Lord:
but
he
loveth
him
that
followeth
after
righteousness.
10
Correction
is
grievous
unto
him
that
forsaketh
the
way:
and
he
that
hateth
reproof
shall
die.
11
Hell
and
destruction
are
before
the
Lord:
how
much
more
then
the
hearts
of
the
children
of
men?
12
A
scorner
loveth
not
one
that
reproveth
him:
neither
will
he
go
unto
the
wise.
13
A
merry
heart
maketh
a
cheerful
countenance:
but
by
sorrow
of
the
heart
the
spirit
is
broken.
14
The
heart
of
him
that
hath
understanding
seeketh
knowledge:
but
the
mouth
of
fools
feedeth
on
foolishness.
15
All
the
days
of
the
afflicted
are
evil:
but
he
that
is
of
a
merry
heart
hath
a
continual
feast.
16
Better
is
little
with
the
fear
of
the
Lord
than
great
treasure
and
trouble
therewith.
17
Better
is
a
dinner
of
herbs
where
love
is,
than
a
stalled
ox
and
hatred
therewith.
18
A
wrathful
man
stirreth
up
strife:
but
he
that
is
slow
to
anger
appeaseth
strife.
19
The
way
of
the
slothful
man
is
as
an
hedge
of
thorns:
but
the
way
of
the
righteous
is
made
plain.
20
A
wise
son
maketh
a
glad
father:
but
a
foolish
man
despiseth
his
mother.
21
Folly
is
joy
to
him
that
is
destitute
of
wisdom:
but
a
man
of
understanding
walketh
uprightly.
22
Without
counsel
purposes
are
disappointed:
but
in
the
multitude
of
counsellers
they
are
established.
23
A
man
hath
joy
by
the
answer
of
his
mouth:
and
a
word
spoken
in
due
season,
how
good
is
it!
24
The
way
of
life
is
above
to
the
wise,
that
he
may
depart
from
hell
beneath.
25
The
Lord
will
destroy
the
house
of
the
proud:
but
he
will
establish
the
border
of
the
widow.
26
The
thoughts
of
the
wicked
are
an
abomination
to
the
Lord:
but
the
words
of
the
pure
are
pleasant
words.
27
He
that
is
greedy
of
gain
troubleth
his
own
house;
but
he
that
hateth
gifts
shall
live.
28
The
heart
of
the
righteous
studieth
to
answer:
but
the
mouth
of
the
wicked
poureth
out
evil
things.
29
The
Lord
is
far
from
the
wicked:
but
he
heareth
the
prayer
of
the
righteous.
30
The
light
of
the
eyes
rejoiceth
the
heart:
and
a
good
report
maketh
the
bones
fat.
31
The
ear
that
heareth
the
reproof
of
life
abideth
among
the
wise.
32
He
that
refuseth
instruction
despiseth
his
own
soul:
but
he
that
heareth
reproof
getteth
understanding.
33
The
fear
of
the
Lord
is
the
instruction
of
wisdom;
and
before
honour
is
humility.
