Context of Proverbs 15:6
4Gentleness of tongue is a tree of life; but crookedness therein is a breaking of the spirit. 5A fool despiseth his father's instruction; but he that regardeth reproof becometh prudent. In the house of a righteous [man] is much treasure; but in the revenue of a wicked [man] is disturbance. 7The lips of the wise disperse knowledge, but not so the heart of the foolish. 8The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to Jehovah; but the prayer of the upright is his delight.
