The wise person speaks words of knowledge, good speech that is

constructive. The words of the foolish person are of limited

knowledge, vain speech, lack of wisdom.

God can see everywhere, and everyone at the same time. God can

see who is bad and who is good. God can see the wrongdoings and

but a harsh word stirs up anger.

The tongue of the wise adorns knowledge,2

but the mouth of the fool gushes folly. (Proverbs 15"1-2)

(NIV)

When the other person is angry, a soft and gentle answer can calm

down the anger of the other person. Just remain a l itt le si lent when

the other person is angry and blurting out. When the person cools off

a bit, then only reply but do it gently and softly.

On the other hand, if reply harshly to the angry person, this will

cause that person to increase in anger. Result will be more yelling,

more heated quarrel.

3 The eyes of the LORDarein every place,

Keeping watch on the evil and the good. (Proverbs 15:3) (NKJV)

3 The eyes of the LORDare everywhere,

keeping watch on the wicked and the good. (Proverbs 15:3)

the good deeds. God will reward those with good deeds, and punish

those with bad deeds.

A good tongue which is wholesome, gentle and soothing will bring

good life, meaningful life. Good tongue blesses other people. Good

tongue brings favour from God and men. Good tongue that glorifiesGod will bring about eternal life.

But a perverse tongue will bring lots of trouble, argument, quarrel,

discord, and disunity. Perverse wil l cause unhappiness and tension in

life.

A good tongue is healing, healing to wounded consciences by

comforting them, to sin-sick souls by convincing them, to peace and

love when it is broken by accommodating differences, compromising

matters in variance, and reconciling parties at variance; this is the

healing of the tongue, which is a tree of life.

4 A wholesome tongue isa tree of life,

But perverseness in it breaks the spirit. (Proverbs 1:4) (NKJV)

4 A gentle tongue is a tree of life,but perverseness in it breaks the spirit. (Proverbs 1:4) (RSV)

4 The soothing tongue is a tree of life,

but a perverse tongue crushes the spirit. (Proverbs 1:4) (NIV)

5 A fool despises his fathers instruction,

But he who receives correction is prudent. (Proverbs 15:5)

(NKJV)

5 A fool spurns a parents discipline,

but whoever heeds correction shows prudence. (Proverbs

15:5) (NIV)

A prudent person will listen to instruction and correction. A prudent is

ever willing to learn from mistake and error. A prudent person is

willing to correct his mistake. A prudent person is willing to repent

and turn away from bad habits and sinful activities.

A foolish person will despise instruction and correction. A foolish

person thinks he is right in his own eyes.
