Proverbs 15:1-3

Amplified Bible

Contrast the Upright and the Wicked

15 A soft and gentle and thoughtful answer turns away wrath,
But harsh and painful and careless words stir up anger.^(A)
²
The tongue of the wise speaks knowledge that is pleasing and acceptable,
But the [babbling] mouth of fools spouts folly.
³
The eyes of the Lord are in every place,
Watching the evil and the good [in all their endeavors].^(B)
