| A gentle answer deflects anger, but harsh words make tempers flare. | A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger. |
| Gentle words are a tree of life; a deceitful tongue crushes the spirit. | A wholesome tongue is a tree of life: but perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit. |
| Only a fool despises a parent’s discipline; whoever learns from correction is wise. | A fool despiseth his father's instruction: but he that regardeth reproof is prudent. |
| Better to have little, with fear for the Lord, than to have great treasure and inner turmoil. | Better is little with the fear of the Lord than great treasure and trouble therewith. |
| Plans go wrong for lack of advice; many advisers bring success. | Without counsel purposes are disappointed: but in the multitude of counsellors they are established. |
| Everyone enjoys a fitting reply; it is wonderful to say the right thing at the right time! | A man hath joy by the answer of his mouth: and a word spoken in due season, how good is it! |
| Fear of the Lord teaches wisdom; humility precedes honor. | The fear of the Lord is the instruction of wisdom; and before honour is humility. |
Bible verse of the day
Where is another God like you,who pardons the guilt of the remnant,
overlooking the sins of his special people?
You will not stay angry with your people forever,
because you delight in showing unfailing love.
