Proverbs 15 - KJV & NIV
A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger. | A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger. |
A wholesome tongue is a tree of life: but perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit. | The soothing tongue is a tree of life, but a perverse tongue crushes the spirit. |
A fool despiseth his father's instruction: but he that regardeth reproof is prudent. | A fool spurns a parent’s discipline, but whoever heeds correction shows prudence. |
Better is little with the fear of the Lord than great treasure and trouble therewith. | Better a little with the fear of the Lord than great wealth with turmoil. |
Without counsel purposes are disappointed: but in the multitude of counsellors they are established. | Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers they succeed. |
A man hath joy by the answer of his mouth: and a word spoken in due season, how good is it! | A person finds joy in giving an apt reply— and how good is a timely word! |
The fear of the Lord is the instruction of wisdom; and before honour is humility. | Wisdom’s instruction is to fear the Lord, and humility comes before honor. |
