Proverbs 15 (kjv)

A soft^H7390 answer^H4617 turneth^H7725 away wrath^H2534: but grievous^H6089 words^H1697 stir up^H5927 anger^H639.²The tongue^H3956 of the wise^H2450 useth knowledge^H1847 aright^H3190: but the mouth^H6310 of fools^H3684 poureth out^H5042 foolishness^H200.³The eyes^H5869 of the LORD^H3068 are in every place^H4725, beholding^H6822 the evil^H7451 and the good^H2896.⁴A wholesome^H4832 tongue^H3956 is a tree^H6086 of life^H2416: but perverseness^H5558 therein is a breach^H7667 in the spirit^H7307.⁵A fool^H191 despiseth^H5006 his father's^H1 instruction^H4148: but he that regardeth^H8104 reproof^H8433 is prudent^H6191.⁶In the house^H1004 of the righteous^H6662 is much^H7227 treasure^H2633: but in the revenues^H8393 of the wicked^H7563 is trouble^H5916.⁷The lips^H8193 of the wise^H2450 disperse^H2219 knowledge^H1847: but the heart^H3820 of the foolish^H3684 doeth not so.⁸The sacrifice^H2077 of the wicked^H7563 is an abomination^H8441 to the LORD^H3068: but the prayer^H8605 of the upright^H3477 is his delight^H7522.⁹The way^H1870 of the wicked^H7563 is an abomination^H8441 unto the LORD^H3068: but he loveth^H157 him that followeth^H7291 after righteousness^H6666.¹⁰Correction^H4148 is grievous^H7451 unto him that forsaketh^H5800 the way^H734: and he that hateth^H8130 reproof^H8433 shall die^H4191.¹¹Hell^H7585 and destruction^H11 are before the LORD^H3068: how much more then the hearts^H3826 of the children^H1121 of men^H120?¹²A scorner^H3887 loveth^H157 not one that reproveth^H3198 him: neither will he go^H3212 unto the wise^H2450.¹³A merry^H8056 heart^H3820 maketh a cheerful^H3190 countenance^H6440: but by sorrow^H6094 of the heart^H3820 the spirit^H7307 is broken^H5218.¹⁴The heart^H3820 of him that hath understanding^H995 seeketh^H1245 knowledge^H1847: but the mouth^{H6310 H6440} of fools^H3684 feedeth^H7462 on foolishness^H200.¹⁵All the days^H3117 of the afflicted^H6041 are evil^H7451: but he that is of a merry^H2896 heart^H3820 hath a continual^H8548 feast^H4960.¹⁶Better^H2896 is little^H4592 with the fear^H3374 of the LORD^H3068 than great^H7227 treasure^H214 and trouble^H4103 therewith.¹⁷Better^H2896 is a dinner^H737 of herbs^H3419 where love^H160 is, than a stalled^H75 ox^H7794 and hatred^H8135 therewith.¹⁸A wrathful^H2534 man^H376 stirreth up^H1624 strife^H4066: but he that is slow^H750 to anger^H639 appeaseth^H8252 strife^H7379.¹⁹The way^H1870 of the slothful^H6102 man is as an hedge^H4881 of thorns^H2312: but the way^H734 of the righteous^H3477 is made plain^H5549.²⁰A wise^H2450 son^H1121 maketh a glad^H8055 father^H1: but a foolish^H3684 man^H120 despiseth^H959 his mother^H517.²¹Folly^H200 is joy^H8057 to him that is destitute^H2638 of wisdom^H3820: but a man^H376 of understanding^H8394 walketh^H3212 uprightly^H3474.²²Without counsel^H5475 purposes^H4284 are disappointed^H6565: but in the multitude^H7230 of counsellors^H3289 they are established^H6965.²³A man^H376 hath joy^H8057 by the answer^H4617 of his mouth^H6310: and a word^H1697 spoken in due season^H6256, how good^H2896 is it!²⁴The way^H734 of life^H2416 is above^H4605 to the wise^H7919, that he may depart^H5493 from hell^H7585 beneath^H4295.²⁵The LORD^H3068 will destroy^H5255 the house^H1004 of the proud^H1343: but he will establish^H5324 the border^H1366 of the widow^H490.²⁶The thoughts^H4284 of the wicked^H7451 are an abomination^H8441 to the LORD^H3068: but the words of the pure^H2889 are pleasant^H5278 words^H561.²⁷He that is greedy^H1214 of gain^H1215 troubleth^H5916 his own house^H1004; but he that hateth^H8130 gifts^H4979 shall live^H2421.²⁸The heart^H3820 of the righteous^H6662 studieth^H1897 to answer^H6030: but the mouth^H6310 of the wicked^H7563 poureth^H5042 out evil things^H7451.²⁹The LORD^H3068 is far^H7350 from the wicked^H7563: but he heareth^H8085 the prayer^H8605 of the righteous^H6662.³⁰The light^H3974 of the eyes^H5869 rejoiceth^H8055 the heart^H3820: and a good^H2896 report^H8052 maketh^H1878 the bones^H6106 fat^H1878.³¹The ear^H241 that heareth^H8085 the reproof^H8433 of life^H2416 abideth^H3885 among^H7130 the wise^H2450.³²He that refuseth^H6544 instruction^H4148 despiseth^H3988 his own soul^H5315: but he that heareth^H8085 reproof^H8433 getteth^H7069 understanding^H3820.³³The fear^H3374 of the LORD^H3068 is the instruction^H4148 of wisdom^H2451; and before^H6440 honour^H3519 is humility^H6038.
