< Proverbs 15 >

1 An answer soft it turns away rage and a word of hurt it raises anger.
A mild answer breaketh wrath: but a harsh word stirreth up fury.
2 [the] tongue of Wise [people] it makes good knowledge and [the] mouth of fools it pours forth foolishness.
The tongue of the wise adorneth knowledge: but the mouth of fools bubbleth out folly.
3 [are] in Every place [the] eyes of Yahweh watching evil [people] and good [people].
The eyes of the Lord in every place behold the good and the evil.
4 Healing of tongue [is] a tree of life and perverseness with it [is] brokenness in spirit.
A peaceable tongue is a tree of life: but that which is immoderate, shall crush the spirit.
5 A fool he spurns [the] discipline of father his and [one who] keeps correction he is prudent.
A fool laugheth at the instruction of his father: but he that regardeth reproofs shall become prudent. In abundant justice there is the greatest strength: but the devices of the wicked shall be rooted out.
6 [the] house of A righteous [person] wealth great and with [the] income of a wicked [person] trouble.
The house of the just is very much strength: and in the fruits of the wicked is trouble.
7 [the] lips of Wise [people] they scatter knowledge and [the] heart of fools [is] not right.
The lips of the wise shall disperse knowledge: the heart of fools shall be unlike.
8 [the] sacrifice of Wicked [people] [is] [the] abomination of Yahweh and [is the] prayer of upright [people] delight his.
The victims of the wicked are abominable to the Lord: the vows of the just are acceptable.
9 [is] [the] abomination of Yahweh [the] way of a wicked [person] and [one who] pursues righteousness he loves.
The way of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord: he that followeth justice is beloved by him.
10 Discipline bad [is] for [one who] forsakes [the] path [one who] hates correction he will die.
Instruction is grievous to him that forsaketh the way of life: he that hateth reproof shall die.
11 Sheol and Abaddon [are] before Yahweh indeed? for [the] hearts of [the] children of humankind. (Sheol h7585)
Hell and destruction are before the Lord: how much more the hearts of the children of men? (Sheol h7585)
12 Not he loves a mocker reproof to him to wise [people] not he goes.
A corrupt man loveth not one that reproveth him: nor will he go to the wise.
13 A heart joyful it makes good a face and by sorrow of heart a spirit [is] stricken.
A glad heart maketh a cheerful countenance: but by grief of mind the spirit is cast down.
14 A heart discerning it seeks knowledge (and [the] mouth of *Q(K)*) fools it feeds on foolishness.
The heart of the wise seeketh instruction: and the mouth of fools feedeth on foolishness.
15 All [the] days of [the] afflicted [are] displeasing and a [person] good of heart a feast continually.
All the days of the poor are evil: a secure mind is like a continual feast.
16 [is] good A little with [the] fear of Yahweh more than treasure great and turmoil with it.
Better is a little with the fear of the Lord, than great treasures without content,
17 [is] good A portion of vegetables and love [is] there more than an ox fattened and hatred [is] with it.
It is better to be invited to herbs with love, than to a fatted calf with hatred.
18 A person of rage he stirs up strife and a [person] long of anger he makes quiet a dispute.
A passionate man stirreth up strifes: he that is patient appeaseth those that are stirred up.
19 [the] way of A sluggard [is] like a hedge of thorn[s] and [the] path of upright [people] [is] cast up.
The way of the slothful is as a hedge of thorns; the way of the just is without offence.
20 A son wise he makes glad a father and a fool a person [is] despising mother his.
A wise son maketh a father joyful: but the foolish man despiseth his mother.
21 Foolishness [is] a joy to [one] lacking of heart and a person of understanding (he makes straight *L(abh)*) to walk.
Folly is joy to the fool: and the wise man maketh straight his steps.
22 They go wrong plans when there not [is] counsel and with multitude of counselors it is established.
Designs are brought to nothing where there is no counsel: but where there are many counsellors, they are established.
23 Joy [belongs] to person in [the] answer of mouth his and [is] a word at appropriate time its how! good.
A man rejoiceth in the sentence of his mouth: and a word in due time is best.
24 [the] path of Life [is] upwards for [one who] acts prudently so as to turn aside from Sheol beneath. (Sheol h7585)
The path of life is above for the wise, that he may decline from the lowest hell. (Sheol h7585)
25 [the] house of Proud [people] he tears down - Yahweh and he will establish [the] territory of a widow.
The Lord will destroy the house of the proud: and will strengthen the borders of the widow.
26 [are] [the] abomination of Yahweh [the] plans of an evil [person] and [are] clean words of kindness.
Evil thoughts are an abomination to the Lord: and pure words most beautiful shall be confirmed by him.
27 [is] troubling Own house his [one who] gains unjustly unjust gain and [one who] hates gifts he will live.
He that is greedy of gain troubleth his own house: but he that hateth bribes shall live. By mercy and faith sins are purged away: and by the fear of the Lord every one declineth from evil.
28 [the] heart of A righteous [person] it considers to answer and [the] mouth of wicked [people] it pours forth evil things.
The mind of the just studieth obedience: the mouth of the wicked over floweth with evils.
29 [is] far Yahweh from wicked [people] and [the] prayer of righteous [people] he hears.
The Lord is far from the wicked: and he will hear the prayers of the just.
30 Light of eyes it makes glad a heart a report good it fattens [the] bone[s].
The light of the eyes rejoiceth the soul: a good name maketh the bones fat.
31 An ear [which] hears correction of life in [the] midst of wise [people] it will remain.
The ear that heareth the reproofs of life, shall abide in the midst of the wise.
32 [one who] ignores Discipline [is] rejecting self his and [one who] heeds correction [is] acquiring heart.
He that rejecteth instruction, despiseth his own soul: but he that yieldeth to reproof possesseth understanding.
33 [the] fear of Yahweh [is the] correction of wisdom and [is] before honor humility.
The fear of the Lord is the lesson of wisdom: and humility goeth before glory.
