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.
