Proverbs 15:1-4

New Life Version

15 A gentle answer turns away anger, but a sharp word causes anger.

² The tongue of the wise uses much learning in a good way, but the mouth of fools speaks in a foolish way.

³ The eyes of the Lord are in every place, watching the bad and the good.

⁴ A gentle tongue is a tree of life, but a sinful tongue crushes the spirit.
