Proverbs 15:3-5

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

³ The eyes of the Lord are in every place, keeping watch upon the evil and the good.^(A)

⁴ A gentle tongue [with its healing power] is a tree of life, but willful contrariness in it breaks down the spirit.

⁵ A fool despises his father’s instruction and correction, but he who regards reproof acquires prudence.
