Proverbs 15

JuliaSmith^{(i) 1} A soft answer will turn away wrath, and a word of pain will bring up anger. ² The tongue of the wise will make knowledge good: and the mouth of the foolish will gush forth folly. ³ In every place are the eyes of Jehovah observing closely the evil and the good. ⁴ The healing of the tongue the tree of life: and perverseness in it a breaking in the spirit ⁵ The foolish will deride his father's instruction: and he watching reproof will be crafty. ⁶ The house of the just much treasure: and in the increase of the unjust the being troubled. ⁷ The lips of the wise will disperse knowledge: and the heart of the foolish not so. ⁸ The sacrifice of the unjust an abomination of Jehovah: and the prayer of the upright his acceptance. ⁹ The way of the unjust an abomination of Jehovah: and he will love him pursuing justice. ¹⁰ Correction is evil to him forsaking the way: he hating reproof shall die. ¹¹ Hades and destruction are before Jehovah: much more the hearts of the sons of man. ¹² He mocking will not love him reproving him: to the wise he will not go. ¹³ A heart of joy will do the face good: and by pains of heart the spirit was dejected. ¹⁴ The heart of him understanding will seek knowledge: and the face of the foolish will feed folly. ¹⁵ All the days of the afflicted are evil: and the good of heart drinking always. ¹⁶ Good is little with the fear of Jehovah more than much treasure and confusion with it ¹⁷ Good a ration of herbs and love there, above an ox of the stall and hatred with it. ¹⁸ A man of wrath will excite strife: and he slow to anger will appease contention. ¹⁹ The way of the slothful as the cutting of the thorn: and the path of the upright was raised up. ²⁰ A wise son will gladden the father: and the foolish man despised his mother. ²¹ Folly is joy to him wanting heart: and the man of understanding will make straight to go. ²² The frustrating purposes with no counsel, but in the multitude of counselors it shall be set up. ²³ Joy to the man in the answer of his mouth: and a word in its time how good ²⁴ The path of life is above to the understanding one, to depart from hades below. ²⁵ The house of the proud will Jehovah sweep away, and he will set up the bound of the widow. ²⁶ The purposes of evil an abomination of Jehovah: and the pure speaking of pleasantness. ²⁷ He plundering plunder troubled his house; and he hating gifts shall live. ²⁸ The heart of the just one shall meditate to answer: and the mouth of the unjust shall gush out evil. ²⁹ Jehovah is far off from the unjust: and he will hear the prayer of the just ³⁰ From the light of the eyes the heart will rejoice: and a good report will fatten the bones. ³¹ The ear hearing the reproof of life shall lodge in the midst of the wise. ³² He driving away instruction despised his soul: and he hearing reproof obtained a heart ³³ The fear of Jehovah the instruction of wisdom; and before honor humility.
