Proverbs 15:5 (WEB)
Context Reading
3Yahweh’s eyes are everywhere,keeping watch on the evil and the good. 4A gentle tongue is a tree of life,but deceit in it crushes the spirit. 5A fool despises his father’s correction,but he who heeds reproof shows prudence. 6In the house of the righteous is much treasure,but the income of the wicked brings trouble. 7The lips of the wise spread knowledge;not so with the heart of fools.
