• 1 A soft answer turns away wrath, but hurtful words stirs up anger.
• 2 The tongue of the wise uses knowledge rightly, but the mouth of fools pours out foolishness.
• 3 The eyes of the LORD are in every place, beholding the evil and the good.
• 4 A wholesome tongue is a tree of life, but perverseness in it is a breach in the spirit.
• 5 A fool despises his father’s instruction, but he who reguards correction is prudent.

• 10 Correction is hurtful for him who forsakes the way, and he who hates correction will die.
• 11 Hell and destruction are before the LORD; how much more then the hearts of the children of men.
