More of Solomon’s sayings are in chapter 15: A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger… the eyes of the Lord are everywhere… the tongue that brings healing is a tree of life… a happy heart makes the face cheerful… better a little with the fear of the Lord than great wealth with turmoil… better a meal of vegetables where there is love than a fattened calf with hatred… a hot-tempered man stirs up dissension, but a patient man calms a quarrel… how good is a timely word… the fear of the Lord teaches a man wisdom.
