Proverbs 15:1-4; Proverbs 18:21

Proverbs 15:1-4

1 A gentle answer turns away wrath, But a harsh word stirs up anger.

2 The tongue of the wise makes knowledge acceptable, But the mouth of fools spouts folly.

3 The eyes of the LORD are in every place, Watching the evil and the good.

4 A soothing tongue is a tree of life, But perversion in it crushes the spirit.

Proverbs 18:21

21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit.
