Proverbs 15
A soft
<07390>
<07390>
answer
<04617>
<04617>
away wrath
<02534>_:
<02534>_:
but grievous
<06089>
<06089>
words
<01697>
<01697>
anger
<0639>_.
<0639>_.
The tongue
<03956>
<03956>
of the wise
<02450>
<02450>
useth knowledge
<01847>
<01847>
but the mouth
<06310>
<06310>
of fools
<03684>
<03684>
foolishness
<0200>_.
{poureth: Heb. belcheth, or, bubbleth}<0200>_.
The eyes
<05869>
<05869>
of the LORD
<03068>
<03068>
[are] in every place
<04725>_,
<04725>_,
the evil
<07451>
<07451>
and the good
<02896>_.
<02896>_.
A wholesome
<04832>
<04832>
tongue
<03956>
<03956>
[is] a tree
<06086>
<06086>
of life
<02416>_:
<02416>_:
but perverseness
<05558>
<05558>
therein [is] a breach
<07667>
<07667>
in the spirit
<07307>_.
{A wholesome...: Heb. The healing of the tongue}<07307>_.
In the house
<01004>
<01004>
of the righteous
<06662>
<06662>
[is] much
<07227>
<07227>
treasure
<02633>_:
<02633>_:
but in the revenues
<08393>
<08393>
of the wicked
<07563>
<07563>
The lips
<08193>
<08193>
of the wise
<02450>
<02450>
knowledge
<01847>_:
<01847>_:
but the heart
<03820>
<03820>
of the foolish
<03684>
[doeth] not so.<03684>
The sacrifice
<02077>
<02077>
of the wicked
<07563>
<07563>
[is] an abomination
<08441>
<08441>
to the LORD
<03068>_:
<03068>_:
but the prayer
<08605>
<08605>
of the upright
<03477>
<03477>
[is] his delight
<07522>_.
<07522>_.
The way
<01870>
<01870>
of the wicked
<07563>
<07563>
[is] an abomination
<08441>
<08441>
unto the LORD
<03068>_:
<03068>_:
after righteousness
<06666>_.
<06666>_.
Correction
<04148>
<04148>
[is] grievous
<07451>
<07451>
the way
<0734>_:
<0734>_:
reproof
<08433>
{Correction: or, Instruction}<08433>
Hell
<07585>
<07585>
and destruction
<011>
<011>
[are] before the LORD
<03068>_:
<03068>_:
how much more then the hearts
<03826>
<03826>
of the children
<01121>
<01121>
of men
<0120>_?
<0120>_?
unto the wise
<02450>_.
<02450>_.
A merry
<08056>
<08056>
heart
<03820>
<03820>
countenance
<06440>_:
<06440>_:
but by sorrow
<06094>
<06094>
of the heart
<03820>
<03820>
the spirit
<07307>
<07307>
is broken
<05218>_.
<05218>_.
All the days
<03117>
<03117>
of the afflicted
<06041>
<06041>
[are] evil
<07451>_:
<07451>_:
but he that is of a merry
<02896>
<02896>
heart
<03820>
<03820>
[hath] a continual
<08548>
<08548>
feast
<04960>_.
<04960>_.
Better
<02896>
<02896>
[is] little
<04592>
<04592>
with the fear
<03374>
<03374>
of the LORD
<03068>
<03068>
than great
<07227>
<07227>
treasure
<0214>
<0214>
and trouble
<04103>
therewith.<04103>
Better
<02896>
<02896>
[is] a dinner
<0737>
<0737>
of herbs
<03419>
<03419>
where love
<0160>
<0160>
ox
<07794>
<07794>
and hatred
<08135>
therewith.<08135>
A wrathful
<02534>
<02534>
man
<0376>
<0376>
strife
<04066>_:
<04066>_:
but [he that is] slow
<0750>
<0750>
to anger
<0639>
<0639>
strife
<07379>_.
<07379>_.
The way
<01870>
<01870>
of the slothful
<06102>
<06102>
[man is] as an hedge
<04881>
<04881>
of thorns
<02312>_:
<02312>_:
but the way
<0734>
<0734>
of the righteous
<03477>
{is made...: Heb. is raised up as a causey}<03477>
Folly
<0200>
<0200>
[is] joy
<08057>
<08057>
to [him that is] destitute
<02638>
<02638>
of wisdom
<03820>_:
<03820>_:
but a man
<0376>
<0376>
of understanding
<08394>
{destitute...: Heb. void of heart}<08394>
A man
<0376>
<0376>
hath joy
<08057>
<08057>
by the answer
<04617>
<04617>
of his mouth
<06310>_:
<06310>_:
and a word
<01697>
<01697>
[spoken] in due season
<06256>_,
<06256>_,
how good
<02896>
[is it]! {due...: Heb. his season}<02896>
The thoughts
<04284>
<04284>
of the wicked
<07451>
<07451>
[are] an abomination
<08441>
<08441>
to the LORD
<03068>_:
<03068>_:
but [the words] of the pure
<02889>
<02889>
[are] pleasant
<05278>
<05278>
words
<0561>_.
{pleasant...: Heb. words of pleasantness}<0561>_.
The heart
<03820>
<03820>
of the righteous
<06662>
<06662>
but the mouth
<06310>
<06310>
of the wicked
<07563>
<07563>
out evil things
<07451>_.
<07451>_.
The LORD
<03068>
<03068>
[is] far
<07350>
<07350>
from the wicked
<07563>_:
<07563>_:
the prayer
<08605>
<08605>
of the righteous
<06662>_.
<06662>_.
The light
<03974>
<03974>
of the eyes
<05869>
<05869>
the heart
<03820>_:
<03820>_:
[and] a good
<02896>
<02896>
report
<08052>
<08052>
the bones
<06106>
<06106>
