| Proverbs 15 Text (WEB)
|
- A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.
- The tongue of the wise commends knowledge, but the mouth of fools gush out folly.
- Yahweh's eyes are everywhere, keeping watch on the evil and the good.
- A gentle tongue is a tree of life, but deceit in it crushes the spirit.
- A fool despises his father's correction, but he who heeds reproof shows prudence.
- In the house of the righteous is much treasure, but the income of the wicked brings trouble.
- The lips of the wise spread knowledge; not so with the heart of fools.
- The sacrifice made by the wicked is an abomination to Yahweh, but the prayer of the upright is his delight.
- The way of the wicked is an abomination to Yahweh, but he loves him who follows after righteousness.
- There is stern discipline for one who forsakes the way: whoever hates reproof shall die.
- Sheol and Abaddon are before Yahweh-- how much more then the hearts of the children of men!
- A scoffer doesn't love to be reproved; he will not go to the wise.
- A glad heart makes a cheerful face; but an aching heart breaks the spirit.
- The heart of one who has understanding seeks knowledge, but the mouths of fools feed on folly.
- All the days of the afflicted are wretched, but one who has a cheerful heart enjoys a continual feast.
- Better is little, with the fear of Yahweh, than great treasure with trouble.
- Better is a dinner of herbs, where love is, than a fattened calf with hatred.
- A wrathful man stirs up contention, but one who is slow to anger appeases strife.
- The way of the sluggard is like a thorn patch, but the path of the upright is a highway.
- A wise son makes a father glad, but a foolish man despises his mother.
- Folly is joy to one who is void of wisdom, but a man of understanding keeps his way straight.
- Where there is no counsel, plans fail; but in a multitude of counselors they are established.
- Joy comes to a man with the reply of his mouth. How good is a word at the right time!
- The path of life leads upward for the wise, to keep him from going downward to Sheol.
- Yahweh will uproot the house of the proud, but he will keep the widow's borders intact.
- Yahweh detests the thoughts of the wicked, but the thoughts of the pure are pleasing.
- He who is greedy for gain troubles his own house, but he who hates bribes will live.
- The heart of the righteous weighs answers, but the mouth of the wicked gushes out evil.
- Yahweh is far from the wicked, but he hears the prayer of the righteous.
- The light of the eyes rejoices the heart. Good news gives health to the bones.
- The ear that listens to reproof lives, and will be at home among the wise.
- He who refuses correction despises his own soul, but he who listens to reproof gets understanding.
- The fear of Yahweh teaches wisdom. Before honor is humility.

| Proverbs 15 Text (Latin)
|
- Responsio mollis frangit iram ; sermo durus suscitat furorem.
- Lingua sapientium ornat scientiam ; os fatuorum ebullit stultitiam.
- In omni loco, oculi Domini contemplantur bonos et malos.
- Lingua placabilis lignum vitæ ; quæ autem immoderata est conteret spiritum.
- Stultus irridet disciplinam patris sui ; qui autem custodit increpationes astutior fiet. In abundanti justitia virtus maxima est, cogitationes autem impiorum eradicabuntur.
- Domus justi plurima fortitudo, et in fructibus impii conturbatio.
- Labia sapientium disseminabunt scientiam ; cor stultorum dissimile erit.
- Victimæ impiorum abominabiles Domino ; vota justorum placabilia.
- Abominatio est Domino via impii ; qui sequitur justitiam diligitur ab eo.
- Doctrina mala deserenti viam vitæ ; qui increpationes odit, morietur.
- Infernus et perditio coram Domino ; quanto magis corda filiorum hominum !
- Non amat pestilens eum qui se corripit, nec ad sapientes graditur.
- Cor gaudens exhilarat faciem ; in mœrore animi dejicitur spiritus.
- Cor sapientis quærit doctrinam, et os stultorum pascitur imperitia.
- Omnes dies pauperis, mali ; secura mens quasi juge convivium.
- Melius est parum cum timore Domini, quam thesauri magni et insatiabiles.
- Melius est vocari ad olera cum caritate, quam ad vitulum saginatum cum odio.
- Vir iracundus provocat rixas ; qui patiens est mitigat suscitatas.
- Iter pigrorum quasi sepes spinarum ; via justorum absque offendiculo.
- Filius sapiens lætificat patrem, et stultus homo despicit matrem suam.
- Stultitia gaudium stulto, et vir prudens dirigit gressus suos.
- Dissipantur cogitationes ubi non est consilium ; ubi vero sunt plures consiliarii, confirmantur.
- Lætatur homo in sententia oris sui, et sermo opportunus est optimus.
- Semita vitæ super eruditum, ut declinet de inferno novissimo.
- Domum superborum demolietur Dominus, et firmos faciet terminos viduæ.
- Abominatio Domini cogitationes malæ, et purus sermo pulcherrimus firmabitur ab eo.
- Conturbat domum suam qui sectatur avaritiam ; qui autem odit munera vivet. Per misericordiam et fidem purgantur peccata, per timorem autem Domini declinat omnis a malo.
- Mens justi meditatur obedientiam ; os impiorum redundat malis.
- Longe est Dominus ab impiis, et orationes justorum exaudiet.
- Lux oculorum lætificat animam ; fama bona impinguat ossa.
- Auris quæ audit increpationes vitæ in medio sapientium commorabitur.
- Qui abjicit disciplinam despicit animam suam ; qui autem acquiescit increpationibus possessor est cordis.
- Timor Domini disciplina sapientiæ, et gloriam præcedit humilitas.
