Proverbs 15:4-6

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

⁴ A gentle tongue [with its healing power] is a tree of life, but willful contrariness in it breaks down the spirit.

⁵ A fool despises his father’s instruction and correction, but he who regards reproof acquires prudence.

⁶ In the house of the [uncompromisingly] righteous is great [priceless] treasure, but with the income of the wicked is trouble and vexation.
