Proverbs 15
1 A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger. 17 I
2 The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright: but the mouth of fools poureth out foolishness. 9 I
3 The eyes of the Lord are in every place, beholding the evil and the good. 23 I
4 A wholesome tongue is a tree of life: but perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit. 15 I
5 A fool despiseth his father’s instruction: but he that regardeth reproof is prudent. 2 I
6 In the house of the righteous is much treasure: but in the revenues of the wicked is trouble. 2 I
7 The lips of the wise disperse knowledge: but the heart of the foolish doeth not so. 4 I
8 The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord: but the prayer of the upright is his delight. 11 I
9 The way of the wicked is an abomination unto the Lord: but he loveth him that followeth after righteousness. 10 I
10 Correction is grievous unto him that forsaketh the way: and he that hateth reproof shall die. 3 I
11 Hell and destruction are before the Lord: how much more then the hearts of the children of men? 2 I
12 A scorner loveth not one that reproveth him: neither will he go unto the wise. 2 I
13 A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance: but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken. 28 I
14 The heart of him that hath understanding seeketh knowledge: but the mouth of fools feedeth on foolishness. 7 I
15 All the days of the afflicted are evil: but he that is of a merry heart hath a continual feast. 10 I
16 Better is little with the fear of the Lord than great treasure and trouble therewith. 16 I
17 Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred therewith. 33 I
18 A wrathful man stirreth up strife: but he that is slow to anger appeaseth strife. 11 I
19 The way of the slothful man is as an hedge of thorns: but the way of the righteous is made plain. 8 I
20 A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish man despiseth his mother. 9 I
21 Folly is joy to him that is destitute of wisdom: but a man of understanding walketh uprightly. 2 I
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! 17 I
24 The way of life is above to the wise, that he may depart from hell beneath. 9 I
25 The Lord will destroy the house of the proud: but he will establish the border of the widow. 2 I
26 The thoughts of the wicked are an abomination to the Lord: but the words of the pure are pleasant words. 7 I
27 He that is greedy of gain troubleth his own house; but he that hateth gifts shall live. 6 I
28 The heart of the righteous studieth to answer: but the mouth of the wicked poureth out evil things. 9 I
29 The Lord is far from the wicked: but he heareth the prayer of the righteous. 14 I
30 The light of the eyes rejoiceth the heart: and a good report maketh the bones fat. 20 I
31 The ear that heareth the reproof of life abideth among the wise. 11 I
32 He that refuseth instruction despiseth his own soul: but he that heareth reproof getteth understanding. 9 I
33 The fear of the Lord is the instruction of wisdom; and before honour is humility. 16 I
