Proverbs Chapter 15
|
|||
|
|
1 A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.
|
|||
|
|
2 The tongue of the wise commends knowledge, but the mouths of fools gush out folly.
|
|||
|
|
3 Yahweh’s eyes are everywhere, keeping watch on the evil and the good.
|
|||
|
|
4 A gentle tongue is a tree of life, but deceit in it crushes the spirit.
|
|||
|
|
5 A fool despises his father’s correction, but he who heeds reproof shows prudence.
|
|||
|
|
6 In the house of the righteous is much treasure, but the income of the wicked brings trouble.
|
|||
|
|
7 The lips of the wise spread knowledge; not so with the heart of fools.
|
|||
|
|
8 The sacrifice made by the wicked is an abomination to Yahweh, but the prayer of the upright is his delight.
|
|||
|
|
9 The way of the wicked is an abomination to Yahweh, but he loves him who follows after righteousness.
|
|||
|
|
10 There is stern discipline for one who forsakes the way. Whoever hates reproof shall die.
|
|||
|
|
11 Sheol and Abaddon are before Yahweh— how much more then the hearts of the children of men!
|
|||
|
|
12 A scoffer doesn’t love to be reproved; he will not go to the wise.
|
|||
|
|
13 A glad heart makes a cheerful face, but an aching heart breaks the spirit.
|
|||
|
|
14 The heart of one who has understanding seeks knowledge, but the mouths of fools feed on folly.
|
|||
|
|
15 All the days of the afflicted are wretched, but one who has a cheerful heart enjoys a continual feast.
|
|||
|
|
16 Better is little, with the fear of Yahweh, than great treasure with trouble.
|
|||
|
|
17 Better is a dinner of herbs, where love is, than a fattened calf with hatred.
|
|||
|
|
18 A wrathful man stirs up contention, but one who is slow to anger appeases strife.
|
|||
|
|
19 The way of the sluggard is like a thorn patch, but the path of the upright is a highway.
|
|||
|
|
20 A wise son makes a father glad, but a foolish man despises his mother.
|
|||
|
|
21 Folly is joy to one who is void of wisdom, but a man of understanding keeps his way straight.
|
|||
|
|
22 Where there is no counsel, plans fail; but in a multitude of counselors they are established.
|
|||
|
|
23 Joy comes to a man with the reply of his mouth. How good is a word at the right time!
|
|||
|
|
24 The path of life leads upward for the wise, to keep him from going downward to Sheol.
|
|||
|
|
25 Yahweh will uproot the house of the proud, but he will keep the widow’s borders intact.
|
|||
|
|
26 Yahweh detests the thoughts of the wicked, but the thoughts of the pure are pleasing.
|
|||
|
|
27 He who is greedy for gain troubles his own house, but he who hates bribes will live.
|
|||
|
|
28 The heart of the righteous weighs answers, but the mouth of the wicked gushes out evil.
|
|||
|
|
29 Yahweh is far from the wicked, but he hears the prayer of the righteous.
|
|||
|
|
30 The light of the eyes rejoices the heart. Good news gives health to the bones.
|
|||
|
|
31 The ear that listens to reproof lives, and will be at home among the wise.
|
|||
|
|
32 He who refuses correction despises his own soul, but he who listens to reproof gets understanding.
|
|||
|
|
33 The fear of Yahweh teaches wisdom. Before honor is humility.
