Context of Proverbs 15:6
4A gentle tongue is a tree of life; But perverseness therein is a breaking of the spirit. 5A fool despiseth his father’s correction; But he that regardeth reproof getteth prudence. In 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 foolishdoethnot so. 8The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to Jehovah; But the prayer of the upright is his delight.
