The Power of Gentle and Grievous Words
Proverbs 15:1-7
1
¶ 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.
