VERSE 1
A soft answer turneth away wrath,
But grievous words stir up anger,
The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright
But the mouth of the fools poureth out his thoughts.
Refrain
The eyes of the Lord are in every place,
Be holding the e-vil and good
VERSE 2
A wholesome tongue is a tree of life,
Perversness runs like thief at night
A fool taketh not His father’s instructions,
He that rejects reprove, faces perdition,
VERSE 3
The house of the righteous is treasured,
The house of fool remains absurd,
The lips of the wise speaketh right at all times,
But the lips of the fool speaketh not a right.
VERSE 4
The prayers of the wise are upright,
The sacrifices of fools are void,
The fool is the one that always hate reproved,
But the wise is happy when he is reproved.
Amen
