Proverbs 15:3-5

Lexham English Bible

³ In every place, the eyes of Yahweh
    keep watch over the evil and the good.
⁴ Gentleness^[a] of tongue is a tree of life,
    but perverseness in it^[b] causes a break in spirit.
⁵ A fool will despise the instruction of his father,
    but he who guards reproof is prudent.
