Proverbs 15
Listen Here
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.
