Proverbs 15:2-4
Legacy Standard Bible

2 The (A)tongue of the wise makes knowledge look good,
But the (B)mouth of [a]fools pours forth [b]folly.
3 The (C)eyes of Yahweh are in every place,
Watching the evil and the good.
4 A tongue that brings healing is a tree of life,
But perversion in it breaks the spirit.
