- A gentle answer deflects anger,
but harsh words make tempers flare. - Gentle words are a tree of life;
a deceitful tongue crushes the spirit. - Only a fool despises a parent’s discipline;
whoever learns from correction is wise. - Better to have little, with fear for the Lord,
than to have great treasure and inner turmoil. - Plans go wrong for lack of advice;
many advisers bring success. - Everyone enjoys a fitting reply;
it is wonderful to say the right thing at the right time! - Fear of the Lord teaches wisdom;
humility precedes honor.
The Lord of Heaven’s Armies is a wonderful teacher,
and he gives the farmer great wisdom. Those who lead blameless lives and do what is right,
speaking the truth from sincere hearts.
Those who refuse to gossip
or harm their neighbors
or speak evil of their friends.Next verse!With image
