Take note of these:
Proverbs 15:1-7
King James Version
15 A soft answer turneth away wrath:
but grievous words stir up anger.
2 The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright:
but the mouth of fools poureth out foolishness.
3 The eyes of the Lord are in every place,
beholding the evil and the good.
4 A wholesome tongue is a tree of life:
but perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit.
5 A fool despiseth his father's instruction:
but he that regardeth reproof is prudent.
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.
Proverbs 15:8-12
King James Version
8 The sacrifice of the wicked
is an abomination to the Lord:
but the prayer of the upright is his delight.
9 The way of the wicked is an abomination unto the Lord:
but he loveth him that followeth after righteousness.
10 Correction is grievous unto him
that forsaketh the way:
and he that hateth reproof shall die.
11 Hell and destruction are before the Lord:
how much more then the hearts of the children of men?
12 A scorner loveth not one that reproveth him:
neither will he go unto the wise.
Proverbs 15:13-23
King James Version
13 A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance:
but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.
14 The heart of him that hath understanding
seeketh knowledge:
but the mouth of fools feedeth on foolishness.
15 All the days of the afflicted are evil:
but he that is of a merry heart hath a continual feast.
16 Better is little with the fear of the Lord
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 strife:
but he that is slow to anger appeaseth strife.
19 The way of the slothful man is as an hedge of thorns:
but the way of the righteous is made plain.
20 A wise son maketh a glad father:
but a foolish man despiseth his mother.
21 Folly is joy to him that is destitute of wisdom:
but a man of understanding walketh uprightly.
22 Without counsel purposes are disappointed:
but in the multitude of counsellors they are established.
23 A man hath joy by the answer of his mouth:
and a word spoken in due season,
how good is it!
Proverbs 15:24-29
King James Version
24 The way of life is above to the wise,
that he may depart from hell beneath.
25 The Lord will destroy the house of the proud:
but he will establish the border of the widow.
26 The thoughts of the wicked
are an abomination to the Lord:
but the words of the pure are pleasant words.
27 He that is greedy of gain troubleth his own house;
but he that hateth gifts shall live.
28 The heart of the righteous studieth to answer:
but the mouth of the wicked poureth out evil things.
29 The Lord is far from the wicked:
but he heareth the prayer of the righteous.
Proverbs 15:30-31
King James Version
30 The light of the eyes rejoiceth the heart:
and a good report maketh the bones fat.
31 The ear that heareth the reproof of life
abideth among the wise.
Proverbs 15:32-33
King James Version
32 He that refuseth instruction despiseth his own soul:
but he that heareth reproof getteth understanding.
33 The fear of the Lord is the instruction of wisdom;
and before honour is humility.
