Bible verses

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.
