Proverbs 15:4-8

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

A fool rejects his father’s discipline, But he who complies with rebuke is sensible.

Great wealth is in the house of the righteous, But trouble is in the income of the wicked.

The lips of the wise spread knowledge, But the hearts of fools are not so.

The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord, But the prayer of the upright is His delight.
