Proverbs 15:1-2

The Message

15 A gentle response defuses anger,
but a sharp tongue kindles a temper-fire.

²Knowledge flows like spring water from the wise;
fools are leaky faucets, dripping nonsense.

New International Version

15 A gentle answer^(A) turns away wrath,^(B)
but a harsh word stirs up anger.

²The tongue of the wise adorns knowledge,^(C)
but the mouth of the fool gushes folly.^(D)
