Proverbs 15:3-5
Amplified Bible

3 
The eyes of the Lord are in every place,
Watching the evil and the good [in all their endeavors].(A)
4 
A soothing tongue [speaking words that build up and encourage] is a tree of life,
But a perversive tongue [speaking words that overwhelm and depress] crushes the spirit.
5 
A [flippant, arrogant] fool rejects his father’s instruction and correction,
But he who [is willing to learn and] regards and keeps in mind a reprimand acquires good sense.
