- A soft answer turns away wrath,
But a harsh word stirs up anger. - A wholesome tongue is a tree of life,
But perverseness in it breaks the spirit. - A fool despises his father’s instruction,
But he who receives correction is prudent. - Better is a little with the fear of the Lord,
Than great treasure with trouble. - Without counsel, plans go awry,
But in the multitude of counselors they are established. - A man has joy by the answer of his mouth,
And a word spoken in due season, how good it is! - The fear of the Lord is the instruction of wisdom,
And before honor is humility.
