Proverbs 15:1

New Living Translation

15 A gentle answer deflects anger,
but harsh words make tempers flare.

²⁸The mind of the righteous ponders how to answer,
but the mouth of the wicked pours out evil.^(A)

²⁸The heart of the godly thinks carefully before speaking;
the mouth of the wicked overflows with evil words.
