15A soft answer turns away wrath,
but a harsh word stirs up anger.
²The tongue of the wise dispenses knowledge,
but the mouths of fools pour out folly.
³The eyes of the Lord are in every place,
keeping watch on the evil and the good.
⁴A gentle tongue is a tree of life,
but perverseness in it breaks the spirit.
¹²Hatred stirs up strife,
but love covers all offenses.
