Proverbs 15 (NLT)
1 A gentle answer deflects anger,
but harsh words make tempers flare.
4 Gentle words are a tree of life;
a deceitful tongue crushes the spirit.
13 A glad heart makes a happy face;
a broken heart crushes the spirit.
15 For the despondent, every day brings trouble;
for the happy heart, life is a continual feast.
17 A bowl of vegetables with someone you love,
is better than steak with someone you hate.
18 A hot-tempered person starts fights;
a cool-tempered person stops them.
23 Everyone enjoys a fitting reply;
it is wonderful to say the right thing at the right time!
26 The Lord detests evil plans,
but He delights in pure words.
28 The heart of the Godly thinks carefully before speaking;
the mouth of the wicked overflows with evil words.
30 A cheerful look brings joy to the heart;
good news makes for good health.
