Proverbs 15
A
a
soft
b
answer
turneth
away
c
wrath:
but
grievous
words
stir
up
anger.
2 The
a
tongue
of
the
wise
useth
knowledge
aright:
but
the
mouth
of
fools
poureth
out
b
foolishness.
3 The
a
eyes
of
the
Lord
are
in
every
place,
beholding
the
evil
and
the
good.
4 A
wholesome
a
tongue
is
a
tree
of
life:
but
perverseness
therein
is
a
breach
in
the
spirit.
5 A
a
fool
despiseth
his
father's
b
instruction:
but
he
that
regardeth
reproof
is
prudent.
6 In
the
house
of
the
righteous
is
much
a
treasure:
but
in
the
revenues
of
the
wicked
is
trouble.
7 The
a
lips
of
the
wise
disperse
knowledge:
but
the
heart
of
the
foolish
doeth
not
so.
8 The
a
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
a
righteousness.
10
a
Correction
is
grievous
unto
him
that
forsaketh
the
way:
and
he
that
hateth
b
reproof
shall
c
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
a
merry
b
heart
maketh
a
c
cheerful
countenance:
but
by
d
sorrow
of
the
heart
the
spirit
is
broken.
14 The
heart
of
him
that
hath
a
understanding
seeketh
b
knowledge:
but
the
mouth
of
fools
feedeth
on
c
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
a
little
with
the
fear
of
the
Lord
than
great
treasure
and
trouble
therewith.
17 Better
is
a
dinner
of
herbs
where
a
love
is,
than
a
b
stalled
ox
and
hatred
therewith.
18 A
a
wrathful
man
stirreth
up
b
strife:
but
he
that
is
slow
to
c
anger
appeaseth
d
strife.
19 The
way
of
the
a
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
a
foolish
man
despiseth
his
b
mother.
21 Folly
is
joy
to
him
that
is
destitute
of
wisdom:
but
a
man
of
a
understanding
walketh
uprightly.
22 Without
a
counsel
purposes
are
disappointed:
but
in
the
multitude
of
counsellors
they
are
established.
23 A
man
hath
joy
by
the
answer
of
his
mouth:
and
a
a
word
spoken
in
due
b
season,
how
good
is
it!
24 The
way
of
life
is
a
above
to
the
wise,
that
he
may
depart
from
hell
beneath.
25 The
Lord
will
destroy
the
house
of
the
a
proud:
but
he
will
establish
the
border
of
the
b
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
a
studieth
to
b
answer:
but
the
mouth
of
the
wicked
poureth
out
evil
things.
29 The
Lord
is
a
far
from
the
b
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
a
heareth
reproof
getteth
b
understanding.
33 The
a
fear
of
the
Lord
is
the
instruction
of
wisdom;
and
before
b
honour
is
c
humility.
