- A gentle answer turns away wrath,
But a harsh word stirs up anger. - A soothing tongue is a tree of life,
But perversion in it crushes the spirit. - A fool rejects his father’s discipline,
But he who complies with rebuke is sensible. - Better is a little with the fear of the Lord
Than great treasure, and turmoil with the treasure. - Without consultation, plans are frustrated,
But with many counselors they succeed. - A person has joy in an apt answer,
And how delightful is a timely word! - The fear of the Lord is the instruction for wisdom,
And before honor comes humility.
