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.
