Proverbs 15

1A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger. 2The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright: but the mouth of fools poureth out foolishness. 3The eyes of the Yahuah in every place, beholding the evil and the good. 4A wholesome tongue a tree of life: but perverseness therein a breach in the spirit. 5A fool despiseth his father's instruction: but he that regardeth reproof is prudent. 6In the house of the righteous much treasure: but in the revenues of the wicked is trouble. 7The lips of the wise disperse knowledge: but the heart of the foolish not so. 8The sacrifice of the wicked an abomination to the Yahuah: but the prayer of the upright his delight. 9The way of the wicked an abomination unto the Yahuah: but he loveth him that followeth after righteousness. 10Correction grievous unto him that forsaketh the way: he that hateth reproof shall die. 11Hell and destruction before the Yahuah: how much more then the hearts of the children of men? 12A scorner loveth not one that reproveth him: neither will he go unto the wise. 13A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance: but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken. 14The heart of him that has understanding seeketh knowledge: but the mouth of fools feedeth on foolishness. 15All the days of the afflicted evil: but he that is of a merry heart a continual feast. 16Better little with the fear of the Yahuah than great treasure and trouble therewith. 17Better a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred therewith. 18A wrathful man stirreth up strife: but slow to anger appeaseth strife. 19The way of the slothful as an hedge of thorns: but the way of the righteous made plain. 20A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish man despiseth his mother. 21Folly joy to destitute of wisdom: but a man of understanding walketh uprightly. 22Without counsel purposes are disappointed: but in the multitude of counsellors they are established. 23A man has joy by the answer of his mouth: and a word in due season, how good ! 24The way of life above to the wise, that he may depart from hell beneath. 25The Yahuah will destroy the house of the proud: but he will establish the border of the widow. 26The thoughts of the wicked an abomination to the Yahuah: but of the pure pleasant words. 27He that is greedy of gain troubleth his own house; but he that hateth gifts shall live. 28The heart of the righteous studieth to answer: but the mouth of the wicked poureth out evil things. 29The Yahuah far from the wicked: but he heareth the prayer of the righteous. 30The light of the eyes rejoiceth the heart: a good report maketh the bones fat. 31The ear that heareth the reproof of life abideth among the wise. 32He that refuseth instruction despiseth his own soul: but he that heareth reproof getteth understanding. 33The fear of the Yahuah the instruction of wisdom; and before honour humility.
