 15:1 ¶ A soft 7390 answere 4617 turneth y7725 z8686 away x7725 wrath: 2534 but grieuous 6089 words 1697 stirre vp 5927 z8686 anger. 639

 15:2 The tongue 3956 of the wise, 2450 vseth knowledge 1847 aright: 3190 z8686 but the mouth 6310 of fooles, 3684 powreth out 5042 z8686 foolishnes. 200

 15:3 The eyes 5869 of the LORD 3068 [are] in euery x3605 place, 4725 beholding 6822 z8802 the euill 7451 & the good. 2896

 15:4 A wholesome 4832 tongue 3956 [is] a tree 6086 of life: 2416 but peruersnesse 5558 therein [is] a breach 7667 in the spirit. 7307

 15:5 A foole 191 despiseth 5006 z8799 his fathers 1 instruction: 4148 but hee that regardeth 8104 z8802 reproofe, 8433 [is] prudent. 6191 z8686

 15:6 In the house 1004 of the righteous 6662 [is] much 7227 treasure: 2633 but in the reuenues 8393 of the wicked 7563 is trouble. 5916 z8737

 15:7 The lippes 8193 of the wise 2450 disperse 2219 z8762 knowledge: 1847 but the heart 3820 of the foolish, 3684 [doeth] not x3808 so. x3651

 15:8 The sacrifice 2077 of the wicked 7563 [is] an abomination 8441 to the LORD: 3068 but the prayer 8605 of the vpright 3477 [is] his delight. 7522

 15:9 The way 1870 of the wicked 7563 [is] an abomination 8441 vnto the LORD: 3068 but he loueth 157 z8799 him that followeth y7291 z8764 after x7291 righteousnes. 6666

 15:10 Correction 4148 [is] grieuous 7451 vnto him that forsaketh 5800 z8802 the way: 734 [and] he that hateth 8130 z8802 reproofe, 8433 shall die. 4191 z8799

 15:11 Hell 7585 and destruction 11 [are] before x5048 the LORD: 3068 how much more then, x637 x3588 the hearts 3826 of the children 1121 of men? 120

 15:12 A scorner 3887 z8801 loueth 157 z8799 not x3808 one that reproueth 3198 z8687 him: neither x3808 will he goe y3212 z8799 x1980 vnto x413 the wise. 2450

 15:13 A merry 8056 heart 3820 maketh a cheerefull 3190 z8686 countenance: 6440 but by sorrow 6094 of the heart, 3820 the spirit 7307 is broken. 5218

 15:14 The heart 3820 of him that hath vnderstanding, 995 z8737 seeketh 1245 z8762 knowledge: 1847 but the mouth 6310 z8675 y6440 of fooles 3684 feedeth y7462 z8799 on x7462 foolishnesse. 200

 15:15 All x3605 the dayes 3117 of the afflicted 6041 [are] euill: 7451 but he that is of a merry 2896 heart, 3820 hath a continuall 8548 feast. 4960

 15:16 Better 2896 [is] little 4592 with the feare 3374 of the LORD, 3068 then great 7227 treasure, 214 x4480 and trouble 4103 therewith.

 15:17 Better 2896 [is] a dinner 737 of herbes 3419 where x8033 loue 160 is, then a stalled 75 z8803 oxe, 7794 x4480 and hatred 8135 therewith.

 15:18 A wrathfull 2534 man 376 stirreth vp 1624 z8762 strife: 4066 but he that is slow 750 to anger, 639 appeaseth 8252 z8686 strife. 7379

 15:19 The way 1870 of the slouthfull 6102 man [is] as an hedge 4881 of thornes: 2312 but the way 734 of the righteous 3477 [is] made plaine. 5549 z8803

 15:20 A wise 2450 sonne 1121 maketh a glad 8055 z8762 father: 1 but a foolish 3684 man 120 despiseth 959 z8802 his mother. 517

 15:21 Folly 200 [is] ioy 8057 to him that is destitute 2638 of wisedome: 3820 but a man 376 of vnderstanding 8394 walketh y3212 z8800 x1980 vprightly. 3474 z8762

 15:22 Without x369 counsell, 5475 purposes 4284 are disappointed: 6565 z8687 but in the multitude 7230 of counsellours 3289 z8802 they are established. 6965 z8799

 15:23 A man 376 [hath] ioy 8057 by the answere 4617 of his mouth: 6310 and a word 1697 [spoken] in due season, 6256 how x4100 good 2896 is it?

 15:24 The way 734 of life 2416 [is] aboue 4605 to the wise, 7919 z8688 that x4616 he may depart 5493 z8800 from hell 7585 x4480 beneath. 4295

 15:25 The LORD 3068 will destroy 5255 z8799 the house 1004 of the proud: 1343 but he will establish 5324 z8686 the border 1366 of the widow. 490

 15:26 The thoughts 4284 of the wicked 7451 [are] an abomination 8441 to the LORD: 3068 but the [wordes] of the pure, 2889 [are] pleasant 5278 words. 561

 15:27 Hee that is greedy 1214 z8802 of gaine, 1215 troubleth 5916 z8802 his owne house: 1004 but he that hateth 8130 z8802 gifts, 4979 shall liue. 2421 z8799

 15:28 The heart 3820 of the righteous 6662 studieth 1897 z8799 to answere: 6030 z8800 but the mouth 6310 of the wicked, 7563 powreth y5042 z8686 out x5042 euil things. 7451

 15:29 The LORD 3068 [is] farre 7350 from the wicked: 7563 x4480 but hee heareth 8085 z8799 the prayer 8605 of the righteous. 6662

 15:30 The light 3974 of the eyes 5869 reioyceth 8055 z8762 the heart: 3820 [and] a good 2896 report 8052 maketh y1878 z0 the bones 6106 fat. 1878 z8762

 15:31 The eare 241 that heareth 8085 z8802 the reproofe 8433 of life, 2416 abideth 3885 z8799 among 7130 the wise. 2450

 15:32 He that refuseth 6544 z8802 instruction, 4148 despiseth 3988 z8802 his owne soule: 5315 but he that heareth 8085 z8802 reproofe, 8433 getteth 7069 z8802 vnderstanding. 3820

 15:33 The feare 3374 of the LORD 3068 [is] the instruction 4148 of wisedome; 2451 and before 6440 honour 3519 [is] humilitie. 6038
