Proverbs 15

Mildt svar stiller vrede, sårende ord vækker nag.
2 The tongue of the wise, adorneth knowledge, —but, the mouth of dullards, belcheth out folly.
Vises Tunge drypper af Kundskab, Dårskab strømmer fra Tåbers Mund.
3 In every place, are the eyes of Yahweh, observing the evil and the good.
Alle Vegne er HERRENs Øjne, de udspejder onde og gode.

Streng Tugt er for den, der forlader Vejen; den, der hader Revselse, dør.
11 Hades and destruction, are before Yahweh, how much more then, the hearts of the sons of men. (Sheol h7585)

12 A scoffer, loveth not, one who reproveth him, unto the wise, doth he not go.
Spotteren ynder ikke at revses, til Vismænd går han ikke.

Bedre lidet med HERRENs Frygt end store Skatte med Uro.
17 Better is an allowance of herbs, and love, there, than a fatted ox, and hatred therewith.
Bedre en Ret Grønt med Kærlighed end fedet Okse og Had derhos.
18 A wrathful man, stirreth up strife, but, he that is slow to anger, calmeth contention.

33 The reverence of Yahweh, is the correction of wisdom, and, before honour, is humility.
