Proverbs 15:3-5

EasyEnglish Bible

³ The Lord sees what happens everywhere.
    He is watching what evil people do, and good people too.
⁴ Kind words are like the fruit of a tree that gives life.
    But words that are not honest make people sad and weak.
⁵ A fool hates his father's rules.
    But a wise child learns when his father warns him.
