Bible verses
Translation
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.
