< 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 )
Hell and destruction are before the Lord: how much more the hearts of the children of men? (Sheol )
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 )
The path of life is above for the wise, that he may decline from the lowest hell. (Sheol )
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.
