- A gentle answer turns away wrath,
but a harsh word stirs up anger. - The soothing tongue is a tree of life,
but a perverse tongue crushes the spirit. - A fool spurns a parent’s discipline,
but whoever heeds correction shows prudence. - Better a little with the fear of the Lord
than great wealth with turmoil. - Plans fail for lack of counsel,
but with many advisers they succeed. - A person finds joy in giving an apt reply—
and how good is a timely word! - Wisdom’s instruction is to fear the Lord,
and humility comes before honor.
You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised. Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful.Next verse!With image
