The Book of Proverbs 15

15 A gentle answer turns back heat,

but a word of pain lifts up a nose.

2 The tongue of the wise ones makes knowledge good,

but the mouth of stupid ones gushes forth folly.

3 The eyes of Yahweh are in every place,

watching evil ones and good ones.

4 A healing tongue is a tree of life,

but crookedness in it is a breaking in the spirit.

5 A fool despises the correction of his father,

but one who keeps rebuke is prudent.

6 The house of the righteous one has much treasure,

but in the produce of the wicked one is being troubled.

7 The lips of the wise ones scatter knowledge,

but the heart of stupid ones is not so.

8 The sacrifice of the wicked ones is an abomination to Yahweh,

but the prayer of the upright ones is his delight.

9 An abomination to Yahweh is the way of the wicked one,

but a pursuer of righteousness he loves.

10 Severe discipline is for one who forsakes the path;

one who hates rebuke will die.

11 Sheol and Abaddon are before Yahweh;

how much more the hearts of the sons of man!

12 A mocker does not love one who rebukes him;

to the wise ones he will not go.

13 A joyful heart makes a face glad,

but by pain of heart a spirit is stricken.

14 The heart of the understanding one seeks knowledge,

but the mouth of stupid ones feeds on folly.

15 All the days of the afflicted one are evil ones,

but the good of heart has a feast continually.

16 Better is a little with the fear of Yahweh

than much treasure and anxiety with it.

17 Better is a portion of vegetables and love there

than a fattened ox and hatred with it.

18 A man of heat stirs up a quarrel,

but one long of nostrils will quiet a dispute.

19 The way of the lazy one is like a hedge of brier,

but the path of the upright ones is a built-up highway.

20 A wise son gladdens a father,

but a stupid man despises his mother.

21 Folly is a joy to the lacking of heart,

but the man of understanding makes to go straight.

22 Plans are broken with no counsel,

but with a multitude of advisers it will stand.

23 Joy is for the man in the answer of his mouth,

and how good is a word in its time.

24 The path of life is upward for the insightful one,

in order to turn away from Sheol below.

25 Yahweh will tear down the house of the proud ones,

but he will set up the boundary of the widow.

26 Evil thoughts are an abomination to Yahweh,

but words of pleasantness are pure ones.

27 One who unjustly gains unjust gain troubles his house,

but one who hates bribes will live.

28 The heart of the righteous one considers how to answer,

but the mouth of the wicked ones gushes forth evils.

29 Yahweh is far from the wicked ones,

but the prayer of the righteous ones he hears.

30 The luminary of the eyes gladdens the heart;

good news fattens the bone.

31 An ear hearing the rebuke of life

will lodge in the midst of the wise ones.

32 One who avoids correction rejects his life,

but one who hears rebuke acquires heart.

33 The fear of Yahweh is instruction of wisdom,

and before the face of honor is humility.
