Proverbs 15:1-16

Proverbs 15:1-16 CSB

NIVKJVESVNLTNKJV

A gentle answer turns away anger,  but a harsh word stirs up wrath.  The tongue of the wise makes knowledge attractive, but the mouth of fools blurts out foolishness.  The eyes of the  Lord are everywhere, observing the wicked and the good.  The tongue that heals is a tree of life,  but a devious tongue  breaks the spirit. A fool despises his father’s discipline, but a person who accepts correction is sensible.  The house of the righteous has great wealth, but trouble accompanies the income of the wicked. The lips of the wise broadcast knowledge, but not so the heart of fools. The sacrifice of the wicked is detestable to the  Lord,  but the prayer of the upright is his delight.  The Lord detests the way of the wicked, but he loves the one who pursues righteousness.  Discipline is harsh for the one who leaves the path; the one who hates correction will die. Sheol and Abaddon lie open before the  Lord    —  how much more, human hearts.  A mocker doesn’t love one who corrects him;  he will not consult the wise. A joyful heart makes a face cheerful, but a sad heart produces a broken spirit.  A discerning mind seeks knowledge,  but the mouth of fools feeds on foolishness.  All the days of the oppressed are miserable, but a cheerful heart has a continual feast. Better a little with the fear of the  Lord than great treasure with turmoil.
