Proverbs 15

- A gentle answer turns away wrath, but harsh words stir up anger; the tongue of the wise brings healing and knowledge, while the fool's mouth invites ruin.

- The Lord detests crooked ways but delights in blameless conduct; He watches over the righteous, disciplines those He loves, and abhors the sacrifice of the wicked.
