Proverbs 15:1-2

King James Version

15 A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger.

²The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright: but the mouth of fools poureth out foolishness.

15 溫和的回答平息怒氣，
粗暴的言詞激起憤怒。
²智者的舌頭傳揚知識，
愚人的嘴巴吐露愚昧。

15 A gentle answer^(A) turns away wrath,^(B)
but a harsh word stirs up anger.

²The tongue of the wise adorns knowledge,^(C)
but the mouth of the fool gushes folly.^(D)
