The Power of Gentle and Grievous Words
Proverbs 15:1-7
1
A soft answer turneth back fury, And a grievous word raiseth up anger.
2
The tongue of the wise maketh knowledge good, And the mouth of fools uttereth folly.
3
In every place are the eyes of Jehovah, Watching the evil and the good.
4
A healed tongue is a tree of life, And perverseness in it--a breach in the spirit.
5
A fool despiseth the instruction of his father, And whoso is regarding reproof is prudent.
6
In the house of the righteous is abundant strength, And in the increase of the wicked--trouble.
7
The lips of the wise scatter knowledge, And the heart of fools is not right.
