1 A
asoft answer turns away wrath,
But
ba harsh word stirs up anger.
2 The tongue of the wise uses knowledge rightly,
aBut the mouth of fools pours forth foolishness.
3 aThe eyes of the
Lord are in every place,
Keeping watch on the evil and the good.
4 A
1 wholesome tongue
is a tree of life,
But perverseness in it breaks the spirit.
