 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.

 but with many advisers they succeed.

 and how good is a timely word!
- Wisdom’s instruction is to fear the Lord,
 and humility comes before honor.
