| 15 | Proverbs | Reference | |
|---|---|---|---|
| A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger. | |||
| The tongue of the wise dispenses knowledge, but the mouths of fools pour out folly. | |||
| The eyes of the LORD are in every place, keeping watch on the evil and the good. | |||
| A gentle tongue is a tree of life, but perverseness in it breaks the spirit. | |||
| A fool despises his father's instruction, but he who heeds admonition is prudent. | |||
| In the house of the righteous there is much treasure, but trouble befalls the income of the wicked. | |||
| The lips of the wise spread knowledge; not so the minds of fools. | |||
| The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD, but the prayer of the upright is his delight. | |||
| The way of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD, but he loves him who pursues righteousness. | |||
| There is severe discipline for him who forsakes the way; he who hates reproof will die. | |||
| Sheol and Abaddon lie open before the LORD, how much more the hearts of men! | |||
| A scoffer does not like to be reproved; he will not go to the wise. | |||
| A glad heart makes a cheerful countenance, but by sorrow of heart the spirit is broken. | |||
| The mind of him who has understanding seeks knowledge, but the mouths of fools feed on folly. | |||
| All the days of the afflicted are evil, but a cheerful heart has a continual feast. | |||
| Better is a little with the fear of the LORD than great treasure and trouble with it. | |||
| Better is a dinner of herbs where love is than a fatted ox and hatred with it. | |||
| A hot-tempered man stirs up strife, but he who is slow to anger quiets contention. | |||
| The way of a sluggard is overgrown with thorns, but the path of the upright is a level highway. | |||
| A wise son makes a glad father, but a foolish man despises his mother. | |||
| Folly is a joy to him who has no sense, but a man of understanding walks aright. | |||
| Without counsel plans go wrong, but with many advisers they succeed. | |||
| To make an apt answer is a joy to a man, and a word in season, how good it is! | |||
| The wise man's path leads upward to life, that he may avoid Sheol beneath. | |||
| The LORD tears down the house of the proud, but maintains the widow's boundaries. | |||
| The thoughts of the wicked are an abomination to the LORD, the words of the pure are pleasing to him. | |||
| He who is greedy for unjust gain makes trouble for his household, but he who hates bribes will live. | |||
| The mind of the righteous ponders how to answer, but the mouth of the wicked pours out evil things. | |||
| The LORD is far from the wicked, but he hears the prayer of the righteous. | |||
| The light of the eyes rejoices the heart, and good news refreshes the bones. | |||
| He whose ear heeds wholesome admonition will abide among the wise. | |||
| He who ignores instruction despises himself, but he who heeds admonition gains understanding. | |||
| The fear of the Lord is instruction in wisdom, and humility does before honor. | |||
