Proverbs 15:3


Proverbs 15:2 Proverbs 15:3 (KJV) Proverbs 15:4
The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright: but the mouth of fools poureth out foolishness.
The eyes of the LORD [are] in every place, beholding the evil and the good.
A wholesome tongue [is] a tree of life: but perverseness therein [is] a breach in the spirit.
