A Soft Answer Turneth Away Wrath — Proverbs 15:8–13

The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to Jehovah; But the prayer of the upright is his delight.

The way of the wicked is an abomination to Jehovah; But he loveth him that followeth after righteousness.

There is grievous correction for him that forsaketh the way; And he that hateth reproof shall die.

Sheol and Abaddon are before Jehovah; How much more then the hearts of the children of men!

A scoffer loveth not to be reproved; He will not go unto the wise.

A glad heart maketh a cheerful countenance; But by sorrow of heart the spirit is broken.
