Proverbs 15:1-7 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

1. A mild answer breaketh wrath: but a harsh word stirreth up fury.

2. The tongue of the wise adorneth knowledge: but the mouth of fools bubbleth out folly.

3. The eyes of the Lord in every place behold the good and the evil.

4. A peaceable tongue is a tree of life: but that which is immoderate, shall crush the spirit.

5. A fool laugheth at the instruction of his father: but he that regardeth reproofs shall become prudent. In abundant justice there is the greatest strength: but the devices of the wicked shall be rooted out.

6. The house of the just is very much strength: and in the fruits of the wicked is trouble.

7. The lips of the wise shall disperse knowledge: the heart of fools shall be unlike.
