Proverbs 15

Proverbs 15 contrasts the power of gentle words that turn away wrath with harsh words that stir anger, emphasizing self-control, prudent acceptance of correction, and the value of a cheerful heart over affliction.[1][2][3] It teaches that YHWH detests the sacrifices of the wicked but delights in the prayers of the upright, watches all hearts, tears down the proud but establishes the widow's boundaries, and hears the righteous while being far from the wicked.[1][4]
