1. A gentle answer turns away rage,but a harsh word stirs up anger.

2. The tongues of wise people give good expression to knowledge,but the mouths of fools pour out a flood of stupidity.

3. The eyes of the Lord are everywhere.They watch evil people and good people.

4. A soothing tongue is a tree of life,but a deceitful tongue breaks the spirit.

5. A stubborn fool despises his father’s discipline,but whoever appreciates a warning shows good sense.

6. Great treasure is in the house of a righteous person,but trouble comes along with the income of a wicked person.

7. The lips of wise people spread knowledge,but a foolish attitude does not.

8. A sacrifice brought by wicked people is disgusting to the Lord,but the prayers of decent people please him.

9. The way of wicked people is disgusting to the Lord,but he loves those who pursue righteousness.

10. Discipline is a terrible ⌊burden⌋ to anyone who leaves the ⌊right⌋ path.Anyone who hates a warning will die.

11. If Sheol and Abaddon lie open in front of the Lordhow much more the human heart!
