Proverbs 15:1-4 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

1. A mild answer turns back wrath,but a harsh word stirs up anger.

2. The tongue of the wise pours out knowledge,but the mouth of fools spews folly.

3. The eyes of the Lord are in every place,keeping watch on the evil and the good.

4. A soothing tongue is a tree of life,but a perverse one breaks the spirit.
