Anger is something many of us deal with regularly. Proverbs 15 tells us that a soft answer will diffuse it. Harsh words stir it up.

Is your tongue wise or foolish? It can also be a tree of life. The wise spread knowledge. Your knowledge is known by the answers that you give.

The Lord watches all of us. Love and digestion are also referred to.     

Again, we are told that accepting correction is sensible. Discipline can be harsh and the one who hates it will die. Those who don’t want correction will not ask for advice. Good council and lack of advice are talked about once again. Listening to rebukes will make you wise. If you despise yourself, you ignore discipline.

Trouble comes with the wealth of the wicked. Joy and sadness are also discussed. A cheerful heart has a constant feast. Joy comes with a timely answer. Dishonest profits trouble a household. Bright eyes cheer a heart.

The fear of the Lord is not just the beginning of wisdom. It is taught by wisdom. Humility comes before honor.
