“A soft answer turns back fury, || And a grievous word raises up anger.”— Proverbs 15:1 (LSV)
1A soft answer turns back fury, || And a grievous word raises up anger.
2The tongue of the wise makes knowledge good, || And the mouth of fools utters folly.
3The eyes of YHWH are in every place, || Watching the evil and the good.
4A healed tongue [is] a tree of life, || And perverseness in it—a breach in the spirit.
