15 A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.(A)
15 A sensitive answer turns back wrath, but an offensive word stirs up anger.
28 The mind of the righteous ponders how to answer, but the mouth of the wicked pours out evil.(A)
28 The righteous heart reflects before answering, but the wicked mouth blurts out evil.
