Proverbs 15:1-3
Amplified Bible

Contrast the Upright and the Wicked

15 A soft and gentle and thoughtful answer turns away wrath,
But harsh and painful and careless words stir up anger.(A)
2 
The tongue of the wise speaks knowledge that is pleasing and acceptable,
But the [babbling] mouth of fools spouts folly.
3 
The eyes of the Lord are in every place,
Watching the evil and the good [in all their endeavors].(B)
