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 the LORD are in every place, keeping watch upon the evil and the good.
4. A wholesome 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.
