Proverbs 15 (New International Version)

Proverbs 15

1 A gentle answer turns away
wrath,
but a harsh word stirs up anger.

2 The tongue of the wise
commends knowledge,
but the mouth of
the fool gushes folly.

3 The eyes of the LORD are
everywhere,
keeping watch on the wicked
and the good.

4 The tongue that brings
healing is a tree of life,
but a
deceitful tongue crushes the spirit.

5 A fool spurns his father's
discipline,
but whoever heeds
correction shows prudence.

6 The house of the righteous
contains great treasure,
but the income
of the wicked brings them trouble.

7 The lips of the wise spread
knowledge;
not so the hearts of fools.

8 The LORD detests the
sacrifice of the wicked,
but the prayer
of the upright pleases him.

9 The LORD detests the way of
the wicked
but he loves those who
pursue righteousness.

10 Stern discipline awaits
him who leaves the path;
he who hates
correction will die.

11 Death and Destruction lie open
before the LORD—
how much more the
hearts of men!

12 A mocker resents
correction;
he will not consult the
wise.

13 A happy heart makes the
face cheerful,
but heartache crushes
the spirit.

14 The discerning heart seeks
knowledge,
but the mouth of a fool
feeds on folly.

15 All the days of the
oppressed are wretched,
but the
cheerful heart has a continual feast.

16 Better a little with the
fear of the LORD
than great wealth with
turmoil.

17 Better a meal of
vegetables where there is love
than a
fattened calf with hatred.

18 A hot-tempered man stirs
up dissension,
but a patient man calms
a quarrel.

19 The way of the sluggard is
blocked with thorns,
but the path of
the upright is a highway.

20 A wise son brings joy to
his father,
but a foolish man despises
his mother.

21 Folly delights a man who
lacks judgment,
but a man of
understanding keeps a straight course.

22 Plans fail for lack of
counsel,
but with many advisers they
succeed.

23 A man finds joy in giving
an apt reply—
and how good is a timely
word!

24 The path of life leads
upward for the wise
to keep him from
going down to the grave.

25 The LORD tears down the
proud man's house
but he keeps the
widow's boundaries intact.

26 The LORD detests the
thoughts of the wicked,
but those of
the pure are pleasing to him.

27 A greedy man brings
trouble to his family,
but he who hates
bribes will live.

28 The heart of the righteous
weighs its answers,
but the mouth of
the wicked gushes evil.

29 The LORD is far from the
wicked
but he hears the prayer of the
righteous.

30 A cheerful look brings joy
to the heart,
and good news gives
health to the bones.

31 He who listens to a
life-giving rebuke
will be at home
among the wise.

32 He who ignores discipline
despises himself,
but whoever heeds
correction gains understanding.

33 The fear of the LORD
teaches a man wisdom,

and humility comes before honor.
