| Proverbs 15: (ASV) |
| 1) A soft answer turneth away wrath; But a grievous word stirreth up anger. |
| 2) The tongue of the wise uttereth knowledge aright; But the mouth of fools poureth out folly. |
| 3) The eyes of Jehovah are in every place, Keeping watch upon the evil and the good. |
| 4) A gentle tongue is a tree of life; But perverseness therein is a breaking of the spirit. |
| 5) A fool despiseth his father's correction; But he that regardeth reproof getteth prudence. |
| 6) In the house of the righteous is much treasure; But in the revenues of the wicked is trouble. |
| 7) The lips of the wise disperse knowledge; But the heart of the foolish doeth not so. |
| 8) The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to Jehovah; But the prayer of the upright is his delight. |
| 9) The way of the wicked is an abomination to Jehovah; But he loveth him that followeth after righteousness. |
| 10) There is grievous correction for him that forsaketh the way; And he that hateth reproof shall die. |
| 11) Sheol and Abaddon are before Jehovah; How much more then the hearts of the children of men! |
| 12) A scoffer loveth not to be reproved; He will not go unto the wise. |
| 13) A glad heart maketh a cheerful countenance; But by sorrow of heart the spirit is broken. |
| 14) The heart of him that hath understanding seeketh knowledge; But the mouth of fools feedeth on folly. |
| 15) All the days of the afflicted are evil; But he that is of a cheerful heart hath a continual feast. |
| 16) Better is little, with the fear of Jehovah, Than great treasure and trouble therewith. |
| 17) Better is a dinner of herbs, where love is, Than a stalled ox and hatred therewith. |
| 18) A wrathful man stirreth up contention; But he that is slow to anger appeaseth strife. |
| 19) The way of the sluggard is as a hedge of thorns; But the path of the upright is made a highway. |
| 20) A wise son maketh a glad father; But a foolish man despiseth his mother. |
| 21) Folly is joy to him that is void of wisdom; But a man of understanding maketh straight his going. |
| 22) Where there is no counsel, purposes are disappointed; But in the multitude of counsellors they are established. |
| 23) A man hath joy in the answer of his mouth; And a word in due season, how good is it! |
| 24) To the wise the way of life goeth upward, That he may depart from Sheol beneath. |
| 25) Jehovah will root up the house of the proud; But he will establish the border of the widow. |
| 26) Evil devices are an abomination to Jehovah; But pleasant words are pure. |
| 27) He that is greedy of gain troubleth his own house; But he that hateth bribes shall live. |
| 28) The heart of the righteous studieth to answer; But the mouth of the wicked poureth out evil things. |
| 29) Jehovah is far from the wicked; But he heareth the prayer of the righteous. |
| 30) The light of the eyes rejoiceth the heart; And good tidings make the bones fat. |
| 31) The ear that hearkeneth to the reproof of life Shall abide among the wise. |
| 32) He that refuseth correction despiseth his own soul; But he that hearkeneth to reproof getteth understanding. |
| 33) The fear of Jehovah is the instruction of wisdom; And before honor goeth humility. |
