Proverbs 15 - Summary

A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger. The tongue of the wise commends knowledge; the mouth of fools pours out folly. The eyes of the LORD are in every place, keeping watch on the evil and the good. A gentle tongue is a tree of life; perverseness in it breaks the spirit. Better is a little with the fear of the LORD than great treasure with trouble. Better is a dinner of herbs where love is than a fattened ox and hatred with it. The heart of the righteous ponders how to answer; the mouth of the wicked pours out evil things.
