Proverbs 15

but a harsh word stirs up anger.

but the mouth of fools gush out folly.

keeping watch on the evil and the good.

but deceit in it crushes the spirit.

but he who heeds reproof shows prudence.

but the income of the wicked brings trouble.

not so with the heart of fools.

but the prayer of the upright is his delight.

but he loves him who follows after righteousness.

whoever hates reproof shall die.

how much more then the hearts of the children of men!

he will not go to the wise.

but an aching heart breaks the spirit.

but the mouths of fools feed on folly.

but one who has a cheerful heart enjoys a continual feast.

than great treasure with trouble.

than a fattened calf with hatred.

but one who is slow to anger appeases strife.

but the path of the upright is a highway.

but a foolish man despises his mother.

but a man of understanding keeps his way straight.

but in a multitude of counselors they are established.

How good is a word at the right time!

to keep him from going downward to Sheol.

but he will keep the widow’s borders intact.

but the thoughts of the pure are pleasing.

but he who hates bribes will live.

but the mouth of the wicked gushes out evil.

but he hears the prayer of the righteous.

Good news gives health to the bones.

and will be at home among the wise.

but he who listens to reproof gets understanding.

Before honor is humility.
