1 A mild response shatters anger. But a harsh word stirs up fury.
2 The tongue of the wise adorns knowledge. But the mouth of the senseless gushes with foolishness.
3 In every place, the eyes of the Lord consider good and evil.
4 A peaceful tongue is a tree of life. But that which is immoderate will crush the spirit.
5 A fool laughs at the discipline of his father. But whoever preserves rebukes will become astute. In abundant justice, there is very great virtue. But the intentions of the impious will be eradicated.
