n°20 / Proverbs 15 :

1A soft answer turneth away wrath : but grievous words stir up anger.
2The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright : but the mouth of fools poureth out foolishness.
3The eyes of the LORD are in every place, beholding the evil and the good.
4A wholesome tongue is a tree of life : but perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit.
5A fool despiseth his father’s instruction : but he that regardeth reproof is prudent.
6In the house of the righteous is much treasure : but in the revenues of the wicked is trouble.
7The lips of the wise disperse knowledge : but the heart of the foolish doeth not so.
8The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD : but the prayer of the upright is his delight.
9The way of the wicked is an abomination unto the LORD : but he loveth him that followeth after righteousness.
10Correction is grievous unto him that forsaketh the way : and he that hateth reproof shall die.
11Hell and destruction are before the LORD : how much more then the hearts of the children of men ?
12A scorner loveth not one that reproveth him : neither will he go unto the wise.
13A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance : but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.
14The heart of him that hath understanding seeketh knowledge : but the mouth of fools feedeth on foolishness.
15All the days of the afflicted are evil : but he that is of a merry heart hath a continual feast.
16Better is little with the fear of the LORD than great treasure and trouble therewith.
17Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred therewith.
18A wrathful man stirreth up strife : but he that is slow to anger appeaseth strife.
19The way of the slothful man is as an hedge of thorns : but the way of the righteous is made plain.
20A wise son maketh a glad father : but a foolish man despiseth his mother.
21Folly is joy to him that is destitute of wisdom : but a man of understanding walketh uprightly.
22Without counsel purposes are disappointed : but in the multitude of counsellers they are established.
23A man hath joy by the answer of his mouth : and a word spoken in due season, how good is it !
24The way of life is above to the wise, that he may depart from hell beneath.
25The LORD will destroy the house of the proud : but he will establish the border of the widow.
26The thoughts of the wicked are an abomination to the LORD : but the words of the pure are pleasant words.
27He that is greedy of gain troubleth his own house ; but he that hateth gifts shall live.
28The heart of the righteous studieth to answer : but the mouth of the wicked poureth out evil things.
29The LORD is far from the wicked : but he heareth the prayer of the righteous.
30The light of the eyes rejoiceth the heart : and a good report maketh the bones fat.
31The ear that heareth the reproof of life abideth among the wise.
32He that refuseth instruction despiseth his own soul : but he that heareth reproof getteth understanding.
33The fear of the LORD is the instruction of wisdom ; and before honour is humility.
