Proverbs 15:1 A soft answer.(Proverbs 25:15).turns away wrath but grievous words stir up anger.

And if you get angry, you might say or do something that could get you into trouble. Watch your tongue:.1Peter 3:10,15.

Proverbs 15:2 The tongue of the wise uses knowledge aright. But the mouth of fools pour out foolishness..

Or, he who is wise has knowledge to use it properly, that is, for the good of others and him or her self:.Proverbs 23:9; 24:26; 25:8-11,15; Ecclesiastes 12:11; Romans 12:18; Ephesians 4:29; 2Timothy 2:14; James 3:7,8;.1Peter 3:10,15; about conversation.

Listen to what people say; are they stupid and dummer than a bag of hammers?

Proverbs 15:3 The eyes of God are in every place, beholding the evil and the good.

God knows what's going on at all times. But why then so much evil?

Proverbs 15:4.A wholesome tongue is a tree of life but perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit.

Your words can either build up or tear down. If you can't say anything kind then don't say anything.

Proverbs 15:5 A fool despises his father's instruction but he that regards.reproof is prudent.

Proverbs 15:6 In the house of the righteous is much treasure, but with the revenues of the wicked is trouble.

Proverbs 15:7 The lips of the wise disperse knowledge but the heart of the foolish does not so.

Proverbs 15:8 The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to God but the prayer of the upright is his delight.

Malachi 2:12 for explanation.

Proverbs 15:9 The way of the wicked is an abomination unto the Lord, but he loves him that follows after righteousness.(is in his heart).

Proverbs 15:10 Correction is grievous unto him that forsakes the way and he that hates reproof shall die.

We are here to fix ourselves.

Proverbs 15:11 Hell and destruction are seen by God. How much more then the hearts of the children of men?

Original is 'grave destroys men's hearts' or, in my own words 'if we believe death is our end result, how could anyone truly be happy believing that, in fact, how could anyone be truly happy just looking at this life alone?' Consider eternality.

Proverbs 15:12 A scorner loves not one that reproves him, neither will he go unto the wise.

That is, content for now in his low consciousness living; Matthew Henry's Commentary:."a scorner cannot bear to reflect seriously within his own heart."

Proverbs 15:13 A merry heart makes a cheerful countenance.(John 6:63), but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.

Proverbs 15:14 The heart of him that has an innerstanding, seeks knowledge. But the mouth of fools feeds on foolishness.

Proverbs 15:15 All the days of the afflicted are evil.(or, not good; when you're afflicted, you need to get feeling better, good, pleasant, agreeable).but he that is of a merry.(original for word 'merry' is 'good', 'pleasant', 'agreeable'.{Matthew 5:25}, being lighthearted:.Proverbs 17:22).heart has a continual feast.

Comprised with Barnes Notes:.the affliction meant here is less that of outward circumstances than of a troubled and downcast spirit. The original word means 'to be occupied', 'to be busied with'. Life to the cheerful is as one perpetual banquet, whether he be poor or rich. That which disturbs the feast is anxiety, the taking thought of worries:.Matthew 6:34;.JFB."The state of the heart governs the outward condition.".Philippians 4:19.

Proverbs 15:16 Better is little with the fear.(the respect).of God than great treasure and trouble therewith.

Proverbs 15:17 Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled.(kept away from exercise to fatten it).ox and hatred therewith.

Proverbs 15:18 A wrathful man stirs up strife, but he that is slow to anger appeases strife.

Proverbs 15:20 A wise son makes a glad father but a foolish one even despises his mother.

Proverbs 15:22 Without counsel purposes are disappointed. But in the multitude of counselors they are established.

Proverbs 15:23 A man has joy by the answer of his mouth and a word spoken in due season, how good is it!

Proverbs 15:24 The way of life is above to the wise, that he may depart from hell.(original for word 'hell' is 'grave'; so, what is hell?).beneath.

Proverbs 15:25 God will destroy the house of the proud, but he will establish the border of the widow.

Proverbs 15:26 The thoughts of the wicked are an abomination to God, but the words of the pure are pleasant words.

Colossians 4:6 "Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer every man."

Proverbs 15:27 He that is greedy of gain troubles his own house.(to what end result?), but he that hates gifts.(bribes to influence you someway to another's advantage at someone else's disadvantage).shall live.

Proverbs 15:28 The heart of the righteous studies to answer, but the mouth of the wicked pours out evil things.

Proverbs 15:29 God is far from the wicked but he hears the prayer of the righteous.

Proverbs 15:30 The light of the eyes rejoices the heart and a good report makes the bones fat.

Proverbs 15:31 The ear that hears the reproof of life abides among the wise.

Proverbs 15:32 He that refuses instruction despises his own soul, but he that hears.(not just hears, but takes it to heart regarding  changing).reproof grows in innerstanding.

Matthew Henry's Commentary: "Sinners undervalue their own souls; therefore they prefer the body before the soul and wrong the soul.(?).to please the body."

Proverbs 15:33 The fear of God is the instruction of wisdom and before honour is humility.

Proverbs 18:12.

Proverbs 16:1 The preparations of the heart in man and the answer of the tongue, is from God.

Mark 13:11; Luke 10:21.

Proverbs 16:2 All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes.(Proverbs 14:12), but God weighs the spirits.

Without God-Creator's multiversal law of 'reaping what you've sown' how would you ever know to turn to a higher consciousness? God considers what you are doing, but do you?

Proverbs 16:3 Commit.(original for word 'commit' is 'roll away' or in other words, give it to God, how?).your works unto God and your thoughts shall be established.

Envisionings have power to manifest. Make good ones using your imagination.

Proverbs 16:4 The Lord has made all things for himself.(original 'for His purposes'), yea, even the wicked for the day of evil.

Matthew Henry's Commentary: God makes use of the wicked to execute righteous vengeance on each other:.Romans 12:19; Hebrews 10:30. Emmanuel chooses a dark side one.

What day is this evil day?

Closer to the original is.'God works answers to the wicked things of evil':.Romans 8:28. All the multiverse is for the purpose of God, even the wickedness (*). We are all here to learn and to learn, one must make choices.

Proverbs 16:5 Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the Lord. Though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished.

Comprised with.Matthew Henry's Commentary: Though sinners strengthen themselves and each other, they can not escape the automatic result of the multiversal law of we reap what we may have sown:.Proverbs 11:21.

Proverbs 16:6 By mercy and truth.iniquity is purged and the fear of the Lord enables one to depart from evil.

Not this kind of fear (Revelation 6:16), which ancient Adam also had:.Genesis 3:8. This kind of fear makes one want to go away and hide. The other fear is a loving respect toward and wanting to stay involved with.

What's necessary for how to be purged?.Hebrews 9:22.

Proverbs 16:7 When a man's ways are pleasing.(that is, are aligned with higher consciousness ways of love), even enemies are at peace.

That's why envisioning is important. The reap and sow law of the multiverse is inexorable.

Psalms 34:14 "Depart from evil. Do good. Seek peace. Pursue these."
Proverbs 15:1 "A soft answer turns away wrath but grievous words stir up anger."

Verse above modified to be closer to the original. Verse originally was translated as."When a man's ways please the Lord, he makes even his enemies to be at peace with him."

The word 'peace' in the verse is the same word in the original also translated 'Idumea'. Idumea refers to Esau/Edom and what happened between him and his brother Jacob and how is it affecting us today?

Proverbs 16:8.Better is a little with righteousness than great revenues without right.

Proverbs 16:9 A man's heart devises his way, but the Lord directs his steps.(that is, if he or she is looking to the Creator for guidance).

Proverbs 16:16 How much better is it to get wisdom than gold and to get understanding.(original for word 'understanding' is 'discernment', 'consider', 'comprehension').is rather to be chosen than silver!

Proverbs 16:17 The highway of the upright is to depart from evil. He that keeps on the way of good protects and preserves his soul.

Don't leave off from good ways you may be used to living:.2Corinthians 3:18.

Proverbs 16:18.Pride goes before destruction and an haughty spirit before a fall.

Stay away being responsive to possible negatives. Some humans and those of mankind are highly influenced by the dark side ones always being out to suck you in, to take advantage of you, to give you hope then pull it out from under your feet. Avoid being so openminded that you become an airhead. How?

Proverbs 14:12.

Proverbs 16:19 Better it is to be of an humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud.

Proverbs 16:20 He that handles a matter wisely shall find good. And whoso trusts in the Lord, happy is he.

Proverbs 16:21 The wise in heart shall be called prudent and the sweetness of the lips increases learning.

It's an art to be a great teacher. Here's one. Here's another.

Proverbs 16:23 The heart of the wise teaches his mouth and adds learning to his lips.

Proverbs 16:24 Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul and health to the bones.

Learn about conversation.

That is, to one of ordinary consciousness, these things seem reasonable.

Proverbs 16:27-30 An unGodly man diggeth up evil. And in his lips there is as a burning fire.

Proverbs 16:28 A froward.(one out to turn you against others).man sows strife. And a whisperer separate chief friends.

Avoid those who will upset your life using divisional.tactics.
