    Proverbs 15
    • 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.
    • 8   The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to Jehovah, And the prayer of the upright is His delight.
    • 9   An abomination to Jehovah is the way of the wicked, And whoso is pursuing righteousness He loveth.
    • 10   Chastisement is grievous to him who is forsaking the path, Whoso is hating reproof dieth.
    • 11   Sheol and destruction are before Jehovah, Surely also the hearts of the sons of men.
    • 12   A scorner loveth not his reprover, Unto the wise he goeth not.
    • 13   A joyful heart maketh glad the face, And by grief of heart is the spirit smitten.
    • 14   The heart of the intelligent seeketh knowledge, And the mouth of fools enjoyeth folly.
    • 15   All the days of the afflicted are evil, And gladness of heart is a perpetual banquet.
    • 16   Better is a little with the fear of Jehovah, Than much treasure, and tumult with it.
    • 17   Better is an allowance of green herbs and love there, Than a fatted ox, and hatred with it.
    • 18   A man of fury stirreth up contention, And the slow to anger appeaseth strife.
    • 19   The way of the slothful is as a hedge of briers, And the path of the upright is raised up.
    • 20   A wise son rejoiceth a father. And a foolish man is despising his mother.
    • 21   Folly is joy to one lacking heart, And a man of intelligence directeth his going.
    • 22   Without counsel is the making void of purposes, And in a multitude of counsellors it is established.
    • 23   Joy is to a man in the answer of his mouth, And a word in its season--how good!
    • 24   A path of life is on high for the wise, To turn aside from Sheol beneath.
    • 25   The house of the proud Jehovah pulleth down, And He setteth up the border of the widow.
    • 26   An abomination to Jehovah are thoughts of wickedness, And pure are sayings of pleasantness.
    • 27   A dishonest gainer is troubling his house, And whoso is hating gifts liveth.
    • 28   The heart of the righteous meditateth to answer, And the mouth of the wicked uttereth evil things.
    • 29   Far is Jehovah from the wicked, And the prayer of the righteous He heareth.
    • 30   The light of the eyes rejoiceth the heart, A good report maketh fat the bone.
    • 31   An ear that is hearing the reproof of life Doth lodge among the wise.
    • 32   Whoso is refusing instruction is despising his soul, And whoso is hearing reproof Is getting understanding.
    • 33   The fear of Jehovah is the instruction of wisdom, And before honour is humility!
