Lessons about wisdom

Proverbs

Keith Simons

Chapter 15

v1 A quiet answer reduces anger.

But an impatient word increases anger.

v2 A wise man’s words are full of knowledge.

A fool’s words are plentiful, but his words are all foolish.

v3 God sees everything.

He watches both good people and evil people.

v4 Words that comfort other people bring strength and health.

Lying words hurt a person’s spirit.

v5 A fool hates his father’s instructions.

If you learn from correction, then you are wise.

v6 A good man has precious possessions.

An evil man receives trouble as his wages.

v7 A wise man’s words teach knowledge to many people.

The heart of a fool cannot do this.

v8 A wicked man might sacrifice (kill) an animal to give to God. God hates this.

God loves the prayer of a good man.
