Proverbs 15
1 By a soft answer wrath is turned away, but a bitter word is a cause of angry feelings.
An answer soft it turns away rage and a word of hurt it raises anger.
2 Knowledge is dropping from the tongue of the wise; but from the mouth of the foolish comes a stream of foolish words.
[the] tongue of Wise [people] it makes good knowledge and [the] mouth of fools it pours forth foolishness.
3 The eyes of the Lord are in every place, keeping watch on the evil and the good.
[are] in Every place [the] eyes of Yahweh watching evil [people] and good [people].

Healing of tongue [is] a tree of life and perverseness with it [is] brokenness in spirit.
5 A foolish man puts no value on his father's training; but he who has respect for teaching has good sense.
A fool he spurns [the] discipline of father his and [one who] keeps correction he is prudent.
6 In the house of the upright man there is a great store of wealth; but in the profits of the sinner there is trouble.
[the] house of A righteous [person] wealth great and with [the] income of a wicked [person] trouble.

10 There is bitter punishment for him who is turned from the way; and death will be the fate of the hater of teaching.
Discipline bad [is] for [one who] forsakes [the] path [one who] hates correction he will die.
11 Before the Lord are the underworld and destruction: how much more, then, the hearts of the children of men! (Sheol h7585)
Sheol and Abaddon [are] before Yahweh indeed? for [the] hearts of [the] children of humankind. (Sheol h7585)
12 The hater of authority has no love for teaching: he will not go to the wise.
Not he loves a mocker reproof to him to wise [people] not he goes.
13 A glad heart makes a shining face, but by the sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.
A heart joyful it makes good a face and by sorrow of heart a spirit [is] stricken.

All [the] days of [the] afflicted [are] displeasing and a [person] good of heart a feast continually.
16 Better is a little with the fear of the Lord, than great wealth together with trouble.
[is] good A little with [the] fear of Yahweh more than treasure great and turmoil with it.
17 Better is a simple meal where love is, than a fat ox and hate with it.
[is] good A portion of vegetables and love [is] there more than an ox fattened and hatred [is] with it.
18 An angry man makes men come to blows, but he who is slow to get angry puts an end to fighting.
A person of rage he stirs up strife and a [person] long of anger he makes quiet a dispute.
19 Thorns are round the way of the hater of work; but the road of the hard worker becomes a highway.
[the] way of A sluggard [is] like a hedge of thorn[s] and [the] path of upright [people] [is] cast up.
20 A wise son makes a glad father, but a foolish man has no respect for his mother.
A son wise he makes glad a father and a fool a person [is] despising mother his.
21 Foolish behaviour is joy to the unwise; but a man of good sense makes his way straight.
Foolishness [is] a joy to [one] lacking of heart and a person of understanding (he makes straight *L(abh)*) to walk.
22 Where there are no wise suggestions, purposes come to nothing; but by a number of wise guides they are made certain.
They go wrong plans when there not [is] counsel and with multitude of counselors it is established.

[are] [the] abomination of Yahweh [the] plans of an evil [person] and [are] clean words of kindness.
27 He whose desires are fixed on profit is a cause of trouble to his family; but he who has no desire for offerings will have life.
[is] troubling Own house his [one who] gains unjustly unjust gain and [one who] hates gifts he will live.
28 The heart of the upright gives thought to his answer; but from the mouth of the evil-doer comes a stream of evil things.
[the] heart of A righteous [person] it considers to answer and [the] mouth of wicked [people] it pours forth evil things.
29 The Lord is far from sinners, but his ear is open to the prayer of the upright.
[is] far Yahweh from wicked [people] and [the] prayer of righteous [people] he hears.
30 The light of the eyes is a joy to the heart, and good news makes the bones fat.
Light of eyes it makes glad a heart a report good it fattens [the] bone[s].
31 The man whose ear is open to the teaching of life will have his place among the wise.
An ear [which] hears correction of life in [the] midst of wise [people] it will remain.
32 He who will not be controlled by training has no respect for his soul, but he who gives ear to teaching will get wisdom.
[one who] ignores Discipline [is] rejecting self his and [one who] heeds correction [is] acquiring heart.
33 The fear of the Lord is the teaching of wisdom; and a low opinion of oneself goes before honour.
[the] fear of Yahweh [is the] correction of wisdom and [is] before honor humility.
