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