Context
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 LORD in every place, beholding the evil and the good.
4A wholesome tongue a tree of life: but perverseness therein a breach in the spirit.
