Proverbs 15:2-4

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

²The tongue of the wise dispenses knowledge,^[a]
    but the mouths of fools pour out folly.
³The eyes of the Lord are in every place,
    keeping watch on the evil and the good.
⁴A gentle tongue is a tree of life,
    but perverseness in it breaks the spirit.
