Proverbs 15:4-6

American Standard Version

^4 [a]A gentle tongue is a tree of life;
But perverseness therein is a breaking of the spirit.
⁵ A fool despiseth his father’s ^[b]correction;
But he that regardeth reproof ^[c]getteth prudence.
⁶ In the house of the righteous is much treasure;
But in the revenues of the wicked is trouble.
