Proverbs 15:4-6

Lexham English Bible

⁴ Gentleness^[a] of tongue is a tree of life,
    but perverseness in it^[b] causes a break in spirit.
⁵ A fool will despise the instruction of his father,
    but he who guards reproof is prudent.
⁶ In the house of the righteous there is much treasure,
    but the income of the wicked brings trouble.
