Lesson: Family Peace
Reading: The tongue, a tool for peace 2018-10-06
Reference: Proverbs 15:1-7 (KJV)
1A soft answer turneth away wrath:
But grievous words stir up anger.
2The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright:
But the mouth of fools poureth out foolishness.
3The eyes of the LORDare in every place,
Beholding the evil and the good.
4A wholesome tongue is a tree of life:
But perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit.
5A fool despiseth his father's instruction:
But he that regardeth reproof is prudent.
6In the house of the righteous is much treasure:
But in the revenues of the wicked is trouble.
7The lips of the wise disperse knowledge:
But the heart of the foolish doeth not so.
